The mosaics are half-built inadvance. When Invader arrives in acity he obtains a map and spendsat least a week installing them.They are catalogued, photographedand Invader uses a map indicatingtheir locations within the city.Typically, mosaics are located tento fifteen feet above the ground,and often on street corners in areasof high visibility. Later, the maps,called "invasion maps", are sold inhis online shop
