Anto Lloveras’s comprehensive framework presents a formidable artistic proposition for the 21st century: the total synthesis of praxis into a sovereign epistemic organism. This is not an artist’s retrospective but the anatomical blueprint of a self-designed entity operating on a logic of metabolic sovereignty. Trained as an architect and operating transdisciplinarily across art, film, and urbanism, Lloveras has methodically constructed a unified socioplastic body—a planetary-scale metabolic infrastructure that ingests the complexities of urban life and digital flux to produce its own authoritative counter-logic. The operational core of this sovereign body is its hyperplastic methodology, a relentless process of absorption and translation. This mechanism moves beyond the crude notion of cannibalism into a sophisticated mode of alchemical curation. Lloveras’s practice exemplifies a “sensibility of the total curator,” where external energies—the waste-management ethos of collectives like Basurama, forensic investigation, or the topographic intelligence of plants—are not copied but transmuted. Each component—the
The ultimate product of this metabolism is the establishment of pedagogical sovereignty. The Unified Socioplastic Body aims to become the very architecture of learning, reframing the city as a “sequence of algorithmic respirations.” This pedagogy is inherently sovereign because it controls the entire epistemic cycle: the production of concepts, their material instantiation in series like “Meat” or “Unstable Love,” and their curated dissemination across the
