Arlo Sinclair’s Space Invaders: Boundaries – 3.5” Black, 2025 transforms a vintage floppy disk into a hand-painted artifact that bridges early digital technology with contemporary art. Revisiting the pixelated alien imagery of the original arcade game, Sinclair layers nostalgia with conceptual sharpness, turning the once-functional disk into a symbol of obsolescence and memory. The piece plays with the idea of boundaries—between analog and digital, past and present, play and preservation. Through precise, hand-rendered detail on a relic of early computing, Sinclair captures the fragility of digital history and the enduring human impulse to archive, defend, and reimagine the worlds we once built on screens.
