Arlo Sinclair’s Jurassic Park: Magic Word – 3.5” Black, 2025 reimagines the iconic film through the lens of early computing and digital nostalgia. Painted by hand onto a retro floppy disk, the work fuses analog memory with cinematic mythology, referencing the film’s famous tension between technology and control. Sinclair transforms the humble disk into a symbolic fossil—an object that once stored data, now preserving cultural memory. The title, Magic Word, nods to the film’s legendary line “You didn’t say the magic word,” capturing both humor and hubris in humanity’s relationship with technology. Through this sleek yet conceptually layered work, Sinclair turns obsolescence into art, reviving the digital relic as a monument to curiosity and caution alike.
