THE JOKER

En marge de la société

 At the margins of society
One more mosaic example in Paris of the French street artist Invader's pixelated style inspired
by the late 1970's Japanese video game, Space Invaders. 
It may be well-executed as far as this genre goes, but coming across this image of The Joker 
on a shady side-street has a creepy effect.
I don't know who is keeping count of these, but there are reports that there are 
more than one thousand glued to walls in the capital city alone.  
For fans it has become a game to seek them out and "flash them" with their phones on dedicated
applications. In fact, according to an article in Le Figaro culture section, the artist himself developed 
such an app to "spot and flash" his works.
