A small step for Art, a gigantic leap for Game Art.
Invader's mosaic tiles as seen on the International Space Station.
As the French artist wrote on his blog,
I would have never imagined that my Space Invaders project might take me that high.
What looked like an unrreachable dream has come true as Space2 is the first space invader ever installed on a spaceship among real astronauts living in zero gravity and with Earth and the universe as a background ! Art, Science, space conquest : a great move !

In November of 2013, Belgian artist and designer Kris Temmerman installed an 8-bit arcade game titled Invasion on his house window, inviting pedestrians to play for free. Temmerman developed a game in which "the world gets invaded by aliens and you have to fight your way to the end boss, save the world and the human race" with Arduino. Previous efforts by the Antwerp-based artist include an Arduino Painting Machine and a series of Hairy Kinect Pictures. Brilliant.

Impressive street art piece featuring Muhammad Ali vs. Street Fighter warriors. Apparently, this artwork is located on Rue des Petits Carreaux, 2ème arrondissement, in Paris.

Kristoffer Zetterstrand is taking 8-bit aesthetics to the street. His new projects, including "Ager Medicinae" (above), transform the side of a building - the parking house walls of the New Karolinska Solna University Hospital, Stockholm - into a videogame via tile mosaics. The New Karolinska Solna is the largest project ever by the Stockholm County Council as well as being one of the largest and most innovative healthcare projects worldwide - it will be completed in 2016. Commissioned by Stockholms Läns Landsting/Stockholm County Council, Zetterstrand's "Ager Medicinae" will make its debut in the Spring of 2012. Simply stunning.

Diego Bergia has just completed the fourth arcade clip for LEPOS: The Primary Invasion. The clip was shot adn edited in San Francisco. As Bergia wrote in an email, "Lately I've really been trying to incorporate the street art aspect into the game itself, like I did with the previous one. I'm still just doing this project alone, animating clips, but hopefully with enough momentum one day I can get playable."

"Hostilities were first engaged on the gleaming facades of Montreuil office park, east of Paris, home to gaming giant Ubisoft and BNP-Paribas bank's IT systems. The conflict has since spread to the business district of La Défense, and to the equally besuited enclave of Issy-les-Moulineaux, which houses France's greatest concentration of telecoms and media companies.
In fact, across the French capital, the summer has been enlivened by a corporate collage contest known as La guerre des Post-it (the Post-it wars). The battle is between presumably underemployed office workers who are devoting large chunks of their days to sticking thousands of pink, yellow, orange and green notes on their windows to recreate pixelated images."

"This is easily one of the smartest wheatpastings I've seen on Valencia in some time. "Sandwich" took stills from the leaked video of two Reuter's staffers and numerous other unarmed civilians being murdered (commonly named "Collateral Murder") and overlaid gameplay from Halo 2 on top of them. Surely a commentary on the soldiers featured in the video, whose impatience while waiting for orders to open fire displayed an utter contempt for human life, as well as modern warfare in general."
