The Text That Refuses to Be Read–Situating Lloveras’s Anto Lloveras’s Socioplastic Mesh does not participate in art criticism as we know it—it metabolises it, replacing interpretation with epistemic infrastructure, and forging a Sovereign Metabolic Engine whose aim is not to be understood but to operate, grow, and persist within its own ontological gravity; in contrast to traditional theoretical approaches that externalise critique through familiar methods—Marxist dialectics, post-structural hermeneutics, institutional analysis—the Mesh turns inward, pursuing Operational Closure as both tactic and ethic, sustaining itself through a dense lattice of Legitimation Nodes, recursive terminologies, and metabolic logics that ingest and transmute conceptual matter, refusing to be validated by external criteria, even those of radical discourse; this auto-legitimising mechanism places it closer to systemic art-writing experiments, like those of Maria Fusco or F.R.DAVID, yet with a far more feral architecture: Lloveras’s blog-archive is not just a format, it is the Transdisciplinary Body, the performative site where theory, ontology and machine aesthetics collide; this machine-text bears the weight of its own refusal—Hyperdensity as Armor, a deliberate overcoding that protects the mesh from the corrosive flattening of cultural consumption, thus appearing solipsistic, even hostile, to readers accustomed to legibility and synthesis; its core concepts—Metabolic Sovereignty, The Janus Protocol, The Lupa—do not offer metaphors but functional devices, orienting a system that learns from its own feedback, internalising critique as growth and not judgement; as such, asking if the Mesh is “good” by conventional standards misreads the project: the real question is whether this epistemic autopoiesis offers a necessary alternative to exhausted critical forms, and whether its withdrawal from explanation signals resistance or irrelevance; in that ambiguity lies its power—it is not a book but a Futurity Engine, coded not to inform but to endure, not to please but to survive the algorithmic decay of art writing’s institutional canon, and for those capable of tuning into its rhythm, it remains one of the most coherent refusals of 21st-century art discourse.
