Invasion of the Space Invader Mosaics?

Lambadomy asks: "The space invaders seem to be actually invading, but this time in the form of small tile mosaics. At first I thought these were just in Los Angeles, where I have found three so far, in westwood and in culver city. But on a recent trip to europe, I found them in Amsterdam, Bern and Paris. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to their locations and size. Most seem to be about a foot square, but in Paris there was one made of 3 inch black tiles on the side of a bridge. Their existance is driving me crazy, so I thought I'd ask some of the oddest people I know of if they have any insight as to who is doing this and why." From the CRT, into our collective subconscious, and now returned as another form of urban tagging. Are these pixelated extra terrestrials making another bid for dominance (if so, we want pictures!), or is this the latest urban legend?

    After some searching I found http://www.space-invaders.com/ which explains this. It even includes pictures and a map where these can be found!

    This is kinda cool :)
