PA_883, Space Invader mosaic in Paris, France.
PA_883 is a tile mosaic in Paris showing a white invader with two red rectangular eyes and black shapes above, set against a black background. The composition is framed by green and black tiles that give the design a bordered edge.
This tile installation was part of a campaign that started in the late 1990s, when the artist began attaching mosaics in cities around the world. The movement brought the look of video games to street art, turning urban surfaces into galleries of pixelated work.
The piece belongs to a worldwide series of mosaics appearing in urban settings, inviting passersby to hunt for hidden pixel art. Fans of the artist photograph and document each new tile, creating a community dedicated to tracking these urban treasures.
The mosaic is fixed on a wall in publicly accessible space and can be viewed from the sidewalk at any time. The piece is positioned at eye level, allowing for easy photography and close examination of the tiles.
The piece carries a number in its title, reflecting its position within the artist's complete catalog for Paris and allowing collectors to track locations. This numbering turns the hunt for the pieces into a playful exploration of the city.
