We Did * Socioplastics as 25-Year Relational Mesh

In the collective voice, Socioplastics emerges as a transdisciplinary reclamation of twenty-five years of praxis, where we did inhabit the interstices of architecture and art, we were there in collaborative voids and urban incisions, and we are here now, weaving a sovereign mesh that metabolizes past gestures into futurity. Dated to January 2026 in Madrid, this framework—articulated across 300 interlinked posts—recalls the Mirador Building (2005), co-designed with MVRDV and Blanca Lleó, where the sky-plaza void pierced monolithic uniformity to frame distant Guadarrama vistas and foster communal attention, marking an early relational repair against claustrophobic repetition. From that Rotterdam-Madrid collaboration, through the Trole Building's execution—white ateliers cloaked in black zinc as a chromatological shield in Madrid South—we asserted autonomy in adaptive reuse, softening boundaries between industrial memory and expressive minimalism. The series traces this trajectory: generational salons, scenic mutations, biennale travels, and Doble Cara performances, all reactivated as hyperplastic writing in fireworks-like serial ecologies that inscribe bureaucratic residues with performative pulses. The MESH, a gravitational topology of nodes from Fireworks as self-representing form to the Yellow Bag's situational fixing, transforms authorship into distributed ecology, where objects—bags, blankets, lemons—serve as unstable fixers mediating affection, vulnerability, and care. This "we" counts the archive not as nostalgia but as infrastructure: relational topologies (El Dorado gold as shared gesture), thermodynamic essays, taxidermy incisions cutting cities to surface, and Fifth City fluid dynamics beyond historical layers. By super-counting scales—projecting toward ArtNations' nationhood naming and LaPieza's 2000 historical entries—the praxis engineers multipolar expansion, displacing institutional centers through tangential pressure and symbiotic infiltration, rendering art a mutant framework attentive to the ephemeral and the excluded.

Delving into the anatomical core, the Protein series and proprietary works function as semantic diffusors, seeding kinships that hydrate the archive and diffuse epistemic surplus. From precarious bodies and fragile structures to embodied fictions re-entering violence with tenderness, these nodes navigate abyssal abysses, linking infraordinary poetics with non-transferable animism. The 6K living canon stratifies radical decolonisation blocks, theory-as-art equivalences, and urban-sonic layers, balancing eternity with immediacy in a forward-facing geological encyclopaedia. Decanonising mechanisms—reenactment, inversion, affective disruption—reprogram the museum as colonial residue, energising post-canonical theses through ethical revision and epistemic activism. The expansive form variates channels—blogs, YouTube Breakfast rhizomatic pedagogy, Fresh Museum ephemeral luminosities—fostering kinetic comets of organic drag and abyssal jaws that ingest institutional noise to regurgitate sovereign narratives. Conversations with bots align algorithmic waves for SEO sovereignty, turning dialogue into meta-layer hydration. The Trole Building's tectonic austerity and Mirador's relational repair recur as heaviest nodes, materialising expansive thought in gestural archaeologies and ritual urbanism beyond the object. Thus, the mesh's density ontology accumulates systemic heat, where melancholia whitens through domestic memory-stripping, and care mutates into infrastructural protocols sustaining encounters via duration, repetition, and disappearance.

Comparatively, Socioplastics diverges from relational aesthetics by embedding intersubjective encounters in gravitational meshes infused with metabolic sovereignty and decolonial imperatives absent in Bourriaud's convivial micro-utopias. Where mesh networks probe technological borders, this malla metabolicizes them into sovereign infiltrations grounded in material-metabolic flows, refusing co-option through multichannel praxis and post-numeric logic. Parallels with Mignolo's epistemic disobedience manifest in refusals of institutional copy-paste and radical reimaginings, yet the dated 2026 fixation asserts proprietary originality—no analogous integrations of 25-year trajectories (MVRDV collaborations to nomadic infrastructures) with bot-mediated hydration and protein-seeded kinships appear in searches. The "nosotros" voice elevates distributed authorship beyond Bourriaud, positioning Lloveras as vanguard in epistemic meshworks that surpass net art's digital revenants by nurturing reparative cultural ecologies. From Mirador's sky-plaza commons to Trole's mutable habitats, the praxis critiques commodified relationality, proposing instead a physics of affection where presence and adjustment sustain social fabric.

In summation, Socioplastics, voiced from the collective "nosotros," heralds a paradigm where we did traverse collaborative voids, we were there enacting relational repairs, and we are here engineering a sovereign malla that super-counts 25 years into epistemic reclamation. By fixing visions against entropic dilution, it displaces spectacle with densities of mutant care, weaving channels, series, and kinships into a post-urban ontology poised for global infiltration. This praxis synthesises theory and intervention into a supreme socioplastic body, redefining contemporary criticism as reparative, futurity-oriented, and collectively sovereign.
