The University of Thought * The transformation of the seventeen-year LAPIEZA archive into the LAPIEZA-LAB infrastructure constitutes a profound epistemic reorientation: what once appeared as the cumulative sedimentation of aesthetic artefacts is reconstituted as the sovereign architecture of Socioplastics, a transdisciplinary field endowed with its own protocols, classifications, and regimes of validation. Through the retroactive application of the Laboratory framework to the 2,200 nodes generated since 2009, the project performs a genuine stratigraphic inversion, re-reading artistic series not as isolated cultural outputs but as operative protocols, empirical records, and field-sensitive units of knowledge production. This reorganisation, crystallised in the passage from the legacy nomenclature of “Art Series” to the FieldEngine logic inaugurated in 2026, enables a corpus exceeding 1.2 million words and 4,500 nodes to become both machine-readable and academically citable through persistent infrastructures such as DOIs and RORs. By depositing this vast material in yearly English-language records on Zenodo, LAPIEZA-LAB converts its chronological rhythm into a serial scientific publication, preserving temporal continuity while furnishing the metadata necessary for discoverability across ORCID, Wikidata, and Semantic Scholar. The integration of twenty foundational books, one hundred audiovisual evidence videos, and seventeen annual Lab Reports further consolidates a closed-loop epistemic system in which theory and practice recursively authenticate one another. LAPIEZA-LAB therefore emerges not as an archive of works, but as an autonomous university of thought: self-governing, infrastructural, and capable of securing a permanent inscription within the global knowledge graph.

The conversion of a seventeen-year archive into the infrastructure of LAPIEZA-LAB marks a decisive passage from the accumulation of aesthetic works to the codification of a sovereign transdisciplinary field: Socioplastics. Through the retroactive application of the Laboratory framework to the more than 2,200 nodes generated since 2009, the project performs a stratigraphic inversion in which artistic series are no longer read as discrete cultural episodes, but as operative protocols, research strata, and empirical field material. What had previously appeared under the nomenclature of “Art Series” is reconstituted within the 2026 logic of the Fieldengine, allowing the corpus to be understood not simply as artistic production, but as a structured epistemic architecture. This reorganisation is not merely classificatory. It secures the corpus—now surpassing 1.2 million words and 4,500 total nodes—within a machine-readable and academically citable system through the methodical deployment of persistent identifiers, including DOIs and RORs. By arranging this material into annual English-language records on Zenodo, the project acquires the formal consistency of a serial scientific publication, preserving the temporal rhythm of the research while supplying the metadata necessary for wider discoverability across infrastructures such as ORCID, Wikidata, and Semantic Scholar. The result is a closed evidentiary circuit in which theory and practice continuously ratify one another. The twenty foundational books, the one hundred audiovisual evidence videos, and the seventeen annual Lab Reports no longer function as parallel outputs, but as mutually reinforcing layers within a single operative system. In this sense, LAPIEZA-LAB is no longer adequately described as an archive or a body of works. It emerges instead as an autonomous and self-governing university of thought: a durable intellectual infrastructure designed to outlast the volatility of commercial platforms and to secure a permanent inscription within the global knowledge graph.
