Invader has been a favorite of mine since 2003 when I found my first pixel alien on a stairway in Piccadilly Circus, London. Invader is a street artist from France who uses very small and very large tiles arranged in blocks most often resembling space aliens from the old-school video game “Space Invader.” Here he tells of a new element in his work where messages are translated from simple black and white arrangements in tile. New and awesome, huh? Half true…

From a fellow who lost his mind for a bit, Greg Mills. This “Projected” piece utilizes a QR Code early March, 2008. Posted by [Geotypografika]. See more strangeness by Mills at his [GDMills.US]

The difference between Mills’ projected piece and Invader’s actual executed piece(s) is that Invader’s are made of tile, not paper. More fun? The following text is by Jet-Set Graffiti, who also brings us the video at the end of the post with visuals by Invader himself.

One of our favorite street artists, Invader, came to LA from France recently and took a minute to explain his new Binary Code street art. This new media utilizes hi-tech Binary Code technology combined with his trademark lo-tech ceramic tile work as seen in urban centers all around the world. This style of artwork is among the most progressive and conceptually interesting in the world. Invader has definitely continued to take it to the next level with this latest development.

No doubt that if you pay attention to street art, you’ve heard of this artist. He’s been working in the streets of France for many years, and his work is among the most recognizable, if not completely understood. Now, with a simple IPhone Application called, I-Matrix, (now known as BeeTag) you can translate the hidden meanings behind his street-art.
