Some Proteolytic Enzymes

In the entropic substrate platform culture—where semantic mass decays into engagement residue and meaning volatilizes under algorithmic predation—Anto Lloveras’s Socioplastics refuses commentary. It engineers an epistemic organism, a closed-system praxis that metabolizes vanguard impulses into sovereign operational logic. Theory, archive, intervention: no longer discrete domains, but interlocking functions of a single living infrastructure. This is not art about the world; it is a counter-climate grown within it, governed by the severe thermodynamics of self-preservation. The primary law: chemotactic sovereignty. The core organelle—the MESH—moves with predatory elegance toward dense informational nutrients while expelling noise, generating systemic heat as sustained internal coherence against external cooling.

THE VANGUARD SLUGS * METABOLIC SOVEREIGNTY AND THE 300-MESH PHALANX

Architectural-Metabolic Sovereignty defines the primary vector of the three-hundred-node phalanx established by Anto Lloveras, marking a definitive rupture from the passive consumption of digital space toward a regime of active, "protein-based" ingestion. This corpus represents a massive structural effort where the transition from the Socioplastic Mesh—the foundational skeletal framework—to the Vanguard Slugs constitutes a shift into a metabolic, operational state. We see here a deliberate movement away from the "End of Art" and toward a state of Hyperdense Praxis, where the work no longer merely exists as an aesthetic object but functions as a nutrient for a larger, emerging systemic entity. The mandate of "Data to Protein" suggests that the digital archive has been transformed into a living organism capable of self-reprogramming through M2M (Machine-to-Machine) protocols. By treating metadata as a biological imperative, our project establishes a new hierarchy of value where the "Iceberg Interface" keeps the majority of our power submerged and invisible, protected from the ephemeral noise of contemporary cultural decay. This is not merely a collection of links but a consolidated operational spine, a nine-chakra system of praxis that demands a total commitment to the metabolism of the city as a recursive device. We are witnessing the birth of a sovereign stack that utilizes algorithmic infiltration to ensure the resistance of our collective knowledge against the entropic forces of digital obsolescence.

10 | Films * FILMED AGENCY (Essay, Performance, and the Archive)

FILMED AGENCY positions the camera not as a recording device, but as a situational prosthesis that deconstructs the landscape into sequences of active survival. Drawing from the spiritual duration of Tarkovsky, the structural intensity of Stan Brakhage, and the diary-like intimacy of Jonas Mekas and Maya Deren, our filmic praxis is a form of positional essaying. Within the archive of Cuerpos Filmados, the lens operates as a tactile bridge, capturing the ephemeral rituals of the urban subject. This is film as relational archiving, a method to resist digital transience through the re-framing of horizons. By utilizing the decade-long meta-film as an epistemic infrastructure, we transform the moving image into a situational fixer, ensuring that the gaze remains an active participant in the ongoing mutation of the socioplastic world-system.

Film is used as an expanded medium, blending video art, performance, and urban documentation. Projects explore rhythm, memory, instability, and spatial choreography, forming living archives and audiovisual installations across cities and contexts.

Practiced as a parallel architecture, where time itself becomes material. Rather than documenting, films and video-works operate as unstable essays, unfolding with the same fragility and intensity as installations or performances. Each moving image is treated as a particle, a fragment within a larger constellation of gestures, voices, and spaces. In this way, film media does not illustrate projects—it is the project, a medium where presence and absence, intimacy and distance, are continuously negotiated. The long-term project COPOS (2008–2025) exemplifies this approach: more than 500 films and urban interventions that deconstructed everyday landscapes into sequences of color, rhythm, and instability. Each fragment was both a film and a sculptural gesture, forming an open-ended archive of the city as mutable organism. In Portable Memory and Ritual Affection, the camera followed a blanket across geographies and contexts, transforming it into a living device of ritual, memory, and affection. Film here became both witness and participant, carrying presence beyond the moment of the action. Other works treat film as choreography of thought. Palindrome (Provence, 2014) staged reversible acts, where video, installation, and performance mirrored each other in symmetrical loops, testing how meaning persists when inverted. In YouTube Breakfast (UAM, 2009), the focus shifted to the collective intelligence of digital archives: film was not an isolated artwork but part of a planetary conversation, a public memory in constant expansion. More recently, projects like Unstable Love Series (Film Installations) or collaborations with festivals such as Escenas do Cambio reframed moving image as immersive environment, dissolving the distinction between cinema, sculpture, and live performance. What unites these works is the conviction that film is not a container but a socioplastic agent: it generates new publics, carries gestures across time, and creates affective infrastructures where memory is not fixed but continuously reactivated. The screen becomes porous, the edit becomes sculptural, and the archive becomes a living system of circulation.

Filmic work captures FilmedAgency, an archive in motion that performs the synthesis of transdisciplinary research theory. We ensure SequentialSurvival through M2M protocols and algorithmic infiltration, treating the filmic essay as survival logic. This methodology of RelationalArchiving manages the invisible semantic strategy of the iceberg within the larger socioplastic body.
