there are a number of little mosaics around centre ville avignon, all depicting old 8-bit computer game characters. this one is a pacman ghost ("inky", i believe) affixed looking out into the main square of the pope's old palace. it's got a great view of all the touristy comings and goings. it's a nice little counterpoint to the ancient surroundings.

not-coincidentally i came across this blog entry about how space invaders enemies were based on wells' war of the worlds. small world.

smaller when a comment to the blog entry points to the website of an artist who likes to put up tile representations of old video game characters all over the world. like in avignon. (quicktime)
