The last ten nodes function as "valves" within the Socioplastic Mesh—entry points and regulatory mechanisms that facilitate the flow of ideas, weaving disparate themes into a relational and mutable network. In the framework of Socioplastics, these valves act as filters or portals that modulate the metabolism of the mesh. They allow for the intake of urban narratives, artistic critiques, and material explorations without rigidity, fostering epistemic sovereignty by inviting the reader to navigate and recombine content at will. Rather than mere archival endpoints, they are activators that recirculate thematic energies—such as precarity, minimalism, and symbolic power—toward higher-order nodes, keeping the mesh resilient, adaptive, and alive. This overview details the most recent entries (February 2026), defining each as a nutritional "protein" that feeds the Socioplastics ecosystem—Anto Lloveras’s methodology for merging fields to transform urban and relational spaces. These nodes function as valves: regulatory entry points that modulate the metabolism of the mesh, emphasizing urban metabolism, relational praxis, and epistemic sovereignty. These ten nodes enrich the mesh with transdisciplinary intensities, acting as valves to digest complex themes such as relational ecologies and sovereign pedagogies. They ensure the mesh remains a living, breathing archive of spatial and social transformation.

110: The Socioplastic Mesh as Epistemic Engine
Rewilding the City Through Recursive Metabolic Logics This node presents the Socioplastic Mesh as a dynamic epistemic device designed to resist algorithmic reduction and cultural obsolescence. It argues that the mesh—using "MESH–SOCIOPLASTIC–[TOPIC]" syntax—treats the city as an autopoietic body and a diffractive substrate, metabolizing infrastructural decay into knowledge.
Core Concepts: Topolexical actuators (hyperlinks as urban orientation), gravitational indexing (recursive knowledge structures), and phagocytic urbanism (relational infiltration).
Implications: Transforms the city into a self-writing metabolic script, fostering epistemic disobedience and speculative urbanism.
109: ASKXXI: Ecologies of Practice
The Art-Science-Technological Continuum Details ASKXXI, a collaborative pilot program dissolving disciplinary silos between Chile and the US. It focuses on climate, biodiversity, and sustainability through immersive workshops in marine, digital, and poetic methods, culminating in Retícula, Chile’s first Art + Science Biennial.
Core Concepts: Ecology of practices as a resilient network of interdependence.
Implications: Seeds relational infrastructures for art-science diplomacy, integrating ecosomatic ecologies into the global mesh.
108: Beyond the Divide: Artists and Ecologists
Co-Creators of Urban Futures Based on an essay by Toby Query (2017), this entry advocates for artists and ecologists as transdisciplinary co-creators. It highlights projects where organic decay and restored rivers become shared languages (e.g., Buster Simpson, Linda Wysong).
Core Concepts: Ecological restoration as shared language (sensing, building, imagining).
Implications: Positions the city as a regenerative canvas for human-non-human coexistence.
107: Transdisciplinary Intensities
Explores the "pico" or peak moment when five or more fields mutually dissolve to generate new ontologies. It cites Socioplastics as the prime example, fusing architecture, relational aesthetics, and ecology to address the ecological collapse.
Core Concepts: Transdisciplinary intensities (ontological dissolution), epistemic invention, and metabolic terrains of engagement (ruins as ecological sites).
Implications: Reconfigures silenced practices into material and affective forces against global fragmentation.
106: LAPIEZA Art Series
Socioplastic Infrastructures and Post-Objectual Futures Summarizes the LAPIEZA series (2009–present) as an infrastructural process rather than a finite object. It maps the evolution from a mutable room in Madrid to a proto-institution of over 1,000 works, prioritizing social exchange over material permanence.
Core Concepts: Nomadic epistemology, socioplastic systems (affective mesh infrastructures), and post-objectual ethics.
Implications: Reprograms cultural value toward care and shared vulnerability.
105: From Mirador to Meshwork
The Expanded Praxis of Anto Lloveras A profile of Lloveras’s trajectory, tracing the path from the Mirador Building (vertical neighborhoods) to a sovereign pedagogy that integrates architecture with epistemic ecosystems.
Core Concepts: Meshwork (iterative modular platforms), unstable architectures, and affective infrastructure.
Implications: Shifts curatorial authority to a shared procedural logic.
104: Situational Fixers and Taxidermy Cuts
Context as Readymade in Unstable Installations Discusses the exhibition Context as Readymade (2017), framing the city as a living-animal archive. "Taxidermy Cuts" treat urban fragments as specimens to be analyzed.
Core Concepts: Unstable installations (resistant spatial ethics) and post-curatorial architectures.
Implications: Re-enchants the digital presence by resisting institutional control and standard exhibition norms.
103: Tactile Architectures and Fibrous Commons
Re-(T)eXhile and the Affective Turn in Urban Fabric Details Re-(T)eXhile at Contextile 2024, framing textiles as both architectural infrastructure and geopolitical waste. It exposes colonial asymmetries through the "touch" of the fabric.
Core Concepts: Textile urbanism as a spatial and discursive tool.
Implications: Addresses the urgency of fragmented flows in planetary cohabitation.
102: Architectures of Friction and Fabric
From Urban Meshes to Sovereign Pedagogies A chronology of Lloveras’s praxis as a path woven through metabolized cities. It frames the work as a cartography of entanglement, focusing on textile remediation.
Core Concepts: Textile metabolism (weaving cycles and refugia) and platforms-as-ecologies.
Implications: Decentralizes authority through transversal flows.
101: Future Utopia Community Key
A Rural Experiment in Post-Human Sustainability Introduces the residency in Uddebo, where artists act as communal agents for sustainable transformation. It integrates artistic practice with urgent rural needs.
Core Concepts: Collaborative agency in residencies and rurality as a site of resistance.
Implications: Democratizes artistic impact, scaling models for rural revitalization.
