ProteolyticTransmutation - Gilbert Simondon - Form changes by becoming rather than by replacement. A metabolic operator for partial digestion, transformation and renewed material agency - Socioplastics - LAPIEZA-LAB - Anto Lloveras


ProteolyticTransmutation is anchored in Gilbert Simondon because individuation describes becoming rather than fixed identity. In Socioplastics, material, textual and conceptual forms are not simply preserved or discarded; they are metabolised into new configurations. The proteolytic image suggests partial digestion: a previous form is broken down enough to become available again, but not erased. Transmutation occurs through pressure, context, technical mediation and reactivation. The operator is central to the metabolic body of the field, where old materials become new structures without losing all trace of their origin. Its internal companion is RecursiveAutophagia, where the system feeds on its own archive. This genealogy draws on Simondon’s Du mode d’existence des objets techniques (1958), and is developed in Lloveras’ Socioplastics Project Index (2026), https://antolloveras.blogspot.com/p/socioplastics-project-index.html.
