Owen Gent's 2018 artwork "Science & Vie" depicts a person in profile with their face and body breaking apart into digital pixel blocks. The composition alludes to the idea that technology and digital life are fragmenting the human experience. The contrasting textures of the smooth face and the sharp, pixelated blocks emphasize the conflict between the analog and digital worlds. The work can be interpreted as a commentary on the impact of the digital age on human relationships and identity.
