remember endless afternoons of my youth spent in the central bar of the country to fight, at a cost of one hundred pounds per game, against fearsome and relentless alien invaders by the color green, the rhythm of a soundtrack ever more pressing, were intended to invade the earth.
And I'm there, fearless, Single shot from a cannon to operate unlimited number of bullets to try to resist their attacks, including bombs and death rays, and killed as much as possible. Well, After this brief introduction, a few weeks ago I happened to run into one of these aliens in Viale delle Belle Arti in Rome and then again in a Piazza Porta Portese and still another in the district S. Lorenzo.
And then wandering around the capital on a Vespa, I had the opportunity to meet other people.
So it has started to intrigue me because, three years ago during a trip to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bI had already seen such aliens.
E 'was enough a quick search on the web to meet my curiosity.
So I found that Space Invaders has become an art project about "global": started in 1998 in Paris, the original work by French artist known as Invader, currently lists the invasion of about 40 cities across 5 continents, including Los Angeles, New York City, Geneva, Tokyo, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bAmsterdam and Kathmandu.

The works of this "street artist", created with the mosaic technique, immediately bring to mind the forms of the aliens in the game.
Every city acquires a score that is given by the number and size of Space Invaders positioned.
To bring the artist in the capital - said the site Exibart.com - has been the Association Wunderkammern, Living with the project Layers shared with the Macro and the Rome City Hall 6, which will lead to an exhibition in October: 's In fact, the artist creates aliases of the works already posted, only one copy for each, which will be already possible to book immediately after his speech.
Everything is mapped using Google Maps and you can follow the peaceful invasion of these aliens on the site colorful http://www.space-invaders.com/ .
