Meaning & Analysis

The alien character depicted in Binary Bug (red) is inspired by the popular arcade game, Space Invaders, which was produced by Japanese game manufacturer Taito in 1978. This game has had a strong impact on Invader’s artistic career and even inspired the artist's pseudonym itself.

As well as making prints inspired by Space Invaders, Invader launched an impressive installation project in 1998 which involved him travelling to cities all over the world to install mosaics of aliens onto the walls of the cities he visited. The on-going project has come to be recognised as one of the biggest street art stunts in art history and Invader has travelled to over 30 countries to install his mosaic aliens.

  • Anonymous street artist Invader adopted his pseudonym from the 1978 arcade game, Space Invaders, and has continually paid homage to retro, 8-bit video games throughout his career. His work has evolved from the original Space Invader motif since the early 2000s, with other icons such as Pac-Man, Pink Panther and even the Rubik’s Cube becoming staples in his imagery. Invading urban landscapes with his distinctive pixelated mosaic creations, Invader transcends the boundaries of traditional street art by combining playful nostalgia with an urban twist. His unique fusion of retro aesthetics and contemporary commentary has solidified his place in the global art scene.
