Betts, however, uses a much more modern approach and bridges art and technology, particularly with software and a CNC machine, with his works. With this technology, Betts deconstructs and then reconstruct images that are reminiscent of pixelated photos such as those taken by security cameras. This similarity is suggestive of institutional surveillance and the Panopticon designed by philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham. His paintings relay the idea of a constant fear of being watched, as is highlighted by the Panopticon design. Betts, through his methodology in including high tech software and seeing images as data, creates a clear association between art and technology and further emphasizes the just stigma against authority and surveillance.
