ALT The #Invader is an activist about whom we know almost nothing. He is Parisian and, apparently, about fifty years old. He also has a very precise objective: to invade by means of signs, or rather, by means of “the” sign, in the singular. What sign? The sign embodied by his visual creations, which systematically refer to this smallest common denominator: a logo representing the figure of a “space invader,” a stylised figure of our contemporary times, aptly signalled by a pixellated, digital-style graphic mark.
He defines himself as an UFA, an Unidentified Free Artist. He choses Invader as his pseudonym and he always appear behind a mask. As such, he can visit his own exhibitions without any visitors knowing who he really is even if he stands a few steps away from them. Since 1998, he has developed a large scale project, code name: #SpaceInvaders
