Scanner

The Scanner artwork by OBEYEBO is a striking digital art piece that explores the intersection of human identity and technology. The vibrant yellow background contrasts with the distorted, almost ghostly figure in the center, which appears to be caught in the act of being scanned, dissected, or digitized. The bold text above and below the figure emphasizes a defiant stance against losing one's identity or essence to the mechanization and dehumanization of modern life.

Scanner delves into the themes of surveillance, technology's impact on humanity, and the struggle to retain individuality in an increasingly digital world. The central figure, distorted and abstract, appears to be in a state of transformation—or perhaps dissolution—symbolizing the vulnerability of the human form and identity when subjected to invasive technological processes. The purple and pink hues of the figure against the stark yellow background create a sense of urgency and unease, suggesting that the process depicted is not entirely benign.

The title, Scanner, refers to the technology that captures and reproduces images, often stripping away the nuances that make an individual unique. In this artwork, scanning becomes a metaphor for the ways in which modern society seeks to standardize and categorize individuals, reducing them to mere data points. The tagline "We Never Will" serves as a powerful statement of resistance, declaring a refusal to be fully assimilated or defined by technology.
