Ontological Infrastructure

Socioplastics, developed by Anto Lloveras, advances a transdisciplinary ontological method that reconfigures art, architecture, knowledge, and urbanism as resilient living systems calibrated for instability. Its structural axiom—“hard below, supple above”—establishes an unalterable core of protocols and jurisdictional rules that secures identity, while an adaptive periphery of projects, nodes, and relations metabolises environmental turbulence without contaminating the kernel. Urban conditions are thus interpreted not as static datasets but as relational gradients—rent intensity, regulatory elasticity, demographic continuity, tourism pressure—whose interplay demands infrastructural intelligence rather than formal novelty. Within this logic, the MUSE mesh operates as a distributed cognitive environment: exhibitions, texts, and spatial actions function as executable operators that harden vocabulary, prune semantic excess, and consolidate citational density, thereby preventing epistemic drift.

Early gestures—such as the circulation of emergency materials as situational devices—demonstrated how minimal interventions could expose hidden infrastructures of care and migration; over time, these dispersed acts coalesced into a governed topology with defined internal geometry. Unlike exploratory prompts or iterative optimisation models, Socioplastics channels meaning through a pre-fixed structural kernel that regulates transformation before content emerges. What varies is contextual embedding; what persists is architectural continuity. Consequently, Socioplastics does not extend an artistic branch but institutes a sovereign relational infrastructure: a metabolic architecture of knowledge that privileges execution over spectacle and durability over visibility, ensuring structural persistence amid systemic volatility.
