The work of Anto Lloveras and the development of Socioplastics represent a radical shift in how we perceive the intersection of art, social structures, and metabolic processes. At its core, Socioplastics is not merely a stylistic choice but a transdisciplinary framework that views social relations as a moldable, plastic medium. It operates on the premise that human interaction and urban environments are living systems capable of being reshaped through intentional artistic and philosophical intervention. Lloveras’s approach emphasizes a metabolic framework, where the flow of information, energy, and social capital is treated as a biological necessity. This perspective moves away from the static nature of traditional gallery art and toward a relational infrastructure. In this context, the "infrastructure" is not just physical—like the former gallery space at Calle de la Palma—but consists of the networks and connections built between individuals. These connections form the "relational tissue" that sustains a community’s intellectual and creative life. Integrating transdisciplinary fields allows Socioplastics to bridge the gap between abstract theory and tangible social practice. By synthesizing elements from ecology, urbanism, and performance, Lloveras creates a space where the boundaries of the "artist" and the "citizen" dissolve. The goal is the creation of a field where integration is constant, and the social body is treated with the same fluidity as raw clay. Ultimately, this work challenges us to see our social structures as dynamic rather than fixed. It suggests that by understanding the underlying relational infrastructure, we can actively participate in the metabolic evolution of our surroundings.
