Within the framework of Socioplastics, media—film, photography, and digital platforms—operate not as instruments of representation but as relational infrastructures that actively participate in the production of knowledge and social interaction. Anto Lloveras conceives moving images and photographic fragments as epistemic prostheses, capable of registering temporal processes, relational encounters, and atmospheric thresholds while simultaneously shaping the conditions under which these phenomena become intelligible.

In this context film becomes filmed agency: a longitudinal observational practice that captures bodies in labour, conversation, and performance as part of evolving socio-urban ecologies. The decade-spanning series Cuerpos Filmados / Filmed Bodies exemplifies this approach by assembling episodic recordings of everyday activity across cities such as Madrid and Mexico City, forming a rhizomatic archive that traces creative endurance, memory erosion, and ecological transformation. Photography operates through a complementary logic, often deploying repeated chromatic motifs—bags, garments, and bodily fragments—as situational fixers that function simultaneously as sculptural proxies and semiotic anchors within shifting contexts. These images resist the fetishisation of the photographic object, instead emphasising processual drift, relational proximity, and the subtle interplay between light, body, and environment. Digital media intensify this infrastructural role by transforming online platforms into epistemic runtime environments where archives continuously evolve through circulation, repetition, and algorithmic interaction. Projects such as YouTube Breakfast demonstrate how distributed video accumulation can operate as a decentralised pedagogical laboratory, converting prosumer media into collective memory storage and non-linear educational infrastructure. Across hybrid works—including micro-video fragments, two-channel performance films, and light-based social sculptures—media become active participants within a broader post-digital ecology of practice. Influences from media theory, actor-network thinking, and post-digital culture converge in this system to frame cameras, platforms, and viewers as heterogeneous agents within a distributed network of meaning. Consequently, the archive itself becomes the artwork: a dynamic mesh where visual traces, performative gestures, and algorithmic circulation collectively fabricate resilient epistemic landscapes capable of sustaining cultural memory and relational awareness amid the accelerating informational turbulence of contemporary society.
