SOCIAL ORGANS
The project
The Social Organs project is an ongoing documentation (2022-2030) led by ANTONIOxEREZ. In collaboration with OSU professor Chris Simons Ph.D. - Sensory Science from the University of California, Davis- we will deliver a dual sensory prototype artwork for the 2027 solo show at Sharon Weiss Gallery.
This inquiry examines the capacity of the individual to serve as a supporting instrument within the social fabric of a community’s collective regeneration. Its method is the visual documentation of the social capital that surrounds me, and its point of departure is my personal background, the context from which I reflect on this capacity. 2022-2023
Between 2023 and 2024, the scope of the inquiry shifted from my immediate circle to other individuals who fulfill a comparable supporting role within their communities. In 2025, this expanded line of research took the name Social Organs.

Instead, for today’s cynics and what-aboutists, it’s typically the opposite: representation alone inspires doubt about whatever’s represented” […].
