Street artist 'Invader' installing mosaic artwork at ESA Headquarters in Paris, France.
After appearing in the Columbus laboratory on the International Space Station, mosaic artwork has been popping up this year at ESA establishments on the ground and has now arrived at our headquarters.
ESA’s strategy and policies are developed and steered in Paris by its 22 Member States. From here, decisions are made that shape our activities to achieve more than any Member could do individually.
The installation of Invader’s art links the international character of ESA working on the frontiers of knowledge to use space for humanity’s benefit while fostering Europe’s competitiveness and growth.
