Biospheric humanism, as articulated within Anto Lloveras's Socioplastics framework, represents a transecological extension of traditional humanism, recalibrating ethical and ontological priorities to encompass the biosphere as an integral domain of responsibility. Emerging from the intersection of relational aesthetics, metabolic urbanism, and decolonial curatorial practices, this concept posits the human not as a sovereign entity detached from ecological systems but as a co-constituent within a planetary mesh of interdependencies. It addresses the volatilities of late-capitalist environments—marked by algorithmic governance, resource depletion, and civilizational entropy—by advocating a humanism attuned to collapse, where agency is preserved through practices of coexistence, repair, and radical proximity. In this paradigm, the biosphere is neither a backdrop nor a resource but a dynamic infrastructure of life processes, demanding that human actions integrate ethical extensions beyond anthropocentric boundaries without abdicating accountability for historical and ongoing disruptions. Lloveras's work, spanning over two decades, embeds this idea in operative systems like the Trans-Lighthouse Manifesto, where biospheric humanism manifests as a "human forest" sustained by transgenerational blends, reimagining urban voids as sites for solidarity and metabolic resilience.
