Alert: System Infected (legacy colorway record)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Alert: System Infected (Red) is the 2021 edition of Invader's Alert print, made at the MGLC Print Studio in Ljubljana in an edition of 60 plus 5 APs. Sized 60 x 60 cm, it belongs to a set of five colourways deploying Invader's alien iconography as a warning-signal graphic.
Collector notes: Five color variants, each reported as an edition of 60 plus 5 artist's proofs. Edition-specific signature and publisher marks not independently documented in the sources reviewed.
Why It Matters
The MGLC production connects the work to the institutional Prints on Paper project and catalogue raisonné. Because the legacy color and year fields conflict, the physical image, inscription and catalogue entry must be reconciled before assigning a definitive variant.
Collector Perspective
Treat this page as an unresolved catalog record, not as authentication of a Red or Black example. A seller should document the actual color, numbering, signature, dimensions and corresponding catalogue entry for the specific impression.
Historical Context
MGLC's INVADER: Prints on Paper project catalogued the artist's 2001–2020 paper editions. The museum context is authoritative for the project, while this legacy record still requires variant-level normalization.

Authentication, Presentation and Provenance
- Original presentation
- Original packaging or presentation not independently documented in the sources reviewed.
- Authentication note
- Compare the physical example with the documented signature, numbering, printer/publisher marks, dimensions, support and edition structure. A matching number or seller-issued certificate alone does not authenticate a copy.
- Provenance note
- Edition origin is attributed to MGLC Ljubljana. Copy-level provenance is separate: retain invoices, labels, prior ownership records and condition photographs for the specific example.

Known conflicts or unresolved points:
- Legacy title says Red while its Edition field says Black.
- Museum/catalogue references use Alert 2020, while the legacy record uses a 2021 edition date.
- Do not assign a colorway or precise year to a physical copy without checking the image, inscription and catalogue entry.
FAQ
Is this the Red or Black version?
The legacy data conflicts, so this page does not assign a definitive color. Check the physical print and catalogue entry.
Should it be dated 2020 or 2021?
Museum/catalogue references use Alert 2020, while the legacy listing used 2021. Both are retained as a visible conflict pending normalization.
What edition structure is reported?
Five color variants, each with 60 regular impressions plus 5 artist's proofs.
