Type: MIRROR EYE
Area: CENTER EAST SIDE / OOSTELIJKE EILANDEN
AmsterInvader’s first object using mirror glass tiles. This area was invaded before by
AI_037 (deleted) but this location has been on my list for a long time. Much longer time than the location at the railway overpass down the street was. The wall next to the mural was screaming for attention (being an Invader, ofcourse),

Type: Hat
Area: CENTER WEST-SIDE
The fact that this space invader has a hat is not a coincidence. Some “space invader fans” already noticed the man with the violin and hat and without a face accross the street. The sculpture of this man without a head is made in 1982 by an anonymous artist and is one of AmsterInvader’s favorites.

Project / Area: INVASION OF THE WESTERN ISLANDS / CENTER WEST-SIDE
This part of the city does not belong to the Western Islands, but it is as much island as Prinseneiland, Realeneiland and Bickerseiland. There was no reason not to invade this part as well.

AmsterInvader’s first space invader with reflector eyes. A test case at the moment. See what kind of glue is best. More of those will follow on spots facing the headlights of cars.

Sometimes AmsterInvader’s are spotted (seen on Flickr) just a few hours after the invasion. This is one of those. And strange enough on a very quiet location on one of the Western islands of the center of Amsterdam.

Second “one-eyed snake” of 2008. The first invasion of a total of 8 invasions on the same day (night), which is a personal record for AmsterInvader. The second location for the 2008 project ‘Invasion of the Western Islands’.
AI_109 was just an explorer of this new space invader territory.

Area / Project: FAR WEST / SLOTERMEER
The first space invader of a 2008 project “Invasion of the Far West”. After many invasions in the center and East side of Amsterdam it felt like it was time to invade the West part of the city. Starting in Slotermeer. The Galaxian shown above is always surrounded by some happy geese.

This location has been on the “To Invade” list for quite a long time. Now the job is done and it’s up to the Flickr guests to guess where this space invader is located. Good luck everyone.

It is always a shame when a space invader is deleted. Especially on this location where
AI_035 has been deleted in March 2007. A re-invasion was possible, but I rather used the location for a new one and a bit higher on the wall. And this is the result.

Finally this ‘rich’ part of Amsterdam is invaded. For the time being only one space invader in this neighbourhood. But you never know what happens in the near future.

De Pijp is one of AmsterInvader’s favorite spots to invade besides Oost, Center and Jordaan. By accident this invader was put up upside down. But who cares?

Some monuments scream to be invaded. AmsterInvader is an admirer of the work Berlage which explains a bit the choise for this location. This statue is in the shade of Amsterdam’s first skyscraper designed by J.F. Staal and finished in 1932.

Area: OOST / WATERGRAAFSMEER
Since the beginning of the project in 2005, AmsterInvader has been looking for a good location in the Amstel Station area. The life cycle of an AmsterInvader on property of the railways (like AI_011, AI_037 and AI_042) is not very long. So, earlier plans around the Amstel Station went straight into the waste bin. This location is not far from the Amstel Station and along the Amstel river it seems to be even a better location after all. This one is the first one with reflecting eyes.

In the night of June 17, 2008 seven space invaders have landed in the city of Amsterdam. Soon on Flickr and on this weblog and already on display in the city of Amsterdam. More invasions are being prepared at the moment. New designs, new locations, new neighbourhoods and maybe some re-invasions as well.
If you have a great location or you want to have your street or neighbourhood invaded send me an email (as detailed as possible): amsterinvader@yahoo.com

Area: CENTER / EAST-SIDE
Within three years after the first space invader made by AmsterInvader decorated the city, number 100 has been installed. A milestone for both AmsterInvader as the city of Amsterdam. When putting up number 100 there are still enough plans and locations to continue the peaceful invasion of this city.
