I’m a big fan of Space Invaders. Even though the game is pretty old-school now, the character has lived on through different artistic expression like rubik-cubism and tile art in many cities of the world. Unfortunately, I was never able to spot one among the urban sprawl of Chicago (where I lived for the last three years). Maybe America’s second city was a tad too windy and chilly for the likes of the invaders.
All that is past now, because last month I got a chance to spot my first live space invader in the Soho neighborhood of New York City. And oh boy, it did put a smile on my face. Looking forward to spotting many more as I visit more cities. For now here’s my own NYC Space Invader.
