Life Nexus is an evolving inter-disciplinary project combining art, science and philosophy by process of co-creation on an international scale. It demonstrates Jorge Orta’s belief that art’s relationship with society should be challenged and investigated. He believes that art must serve as a bond and that the artist’s job is to link us together. To this end, this project focuses on the human heart at both a literal and a metaphorical level: as a human organ – raising public awareness of scientific issues such as organ donation and transplantation and as a metaphor – in the caring sense of ‘have a heart’, in relation to empathy and feelings.
