This artist is responsible for perhaps the most recognizable street art stunt of the last decade. In a planet-wide war of attrition, the pixilated expansionist aliens from Toshiro Nishikado's infamous 1978 arcade game Space Invaders stalked the Earth one more, appearing everywhere from on the 'Hollywood' letters to Jacques Chirac's lapel. Gallic in origin, Space Invader's work is distinct in its whimsicality, offering the viewer not only some tasteful Parisian-style vandalism but the opportunity to theorize wildly about what its purpose may be. Is it easier to see the modern world through the values of a simpler and more idealistic age? Are the pieces an aggressive attempt to conquer the artist''s alienation from his surroundings? This is the sort of stuff you find yourself thinking when confronted by French graffiti. -Lazarides
