Key Points

The research aims to explore how art can function as an infrastructure by shaping civic flows and social interactions.
Implemented a protocol integrating logistical ontology into art projects.
Utilized urban mobility valves to create civic flow channels.
Deployed findings in smart city pilots and transport agencies.
Conducted sensor and agent analysis to validate outcomes.
Achieved a greater than 10% redirection of civic flows over six months.
Transformed spectators into active vectors of attention.
Embedded critique within urban infrastructures as a form of stealth modulation.

Abstract

socioplastics-501-flowchanneling-art-as-infrastructure * This protocol marks a rupture from relational aesthetics (Bourriaud) to logistical ontology / art no longer stages encounters but scripts civic flows (material / informational / affective) / the artist becomes phantom-architect / embedding critique in infrastructure as stealth modulation (e.g., urban mobility valves) / effect: spectators turn into vectors / attention becomes transit / integrates CamelTag for semantic masonry / leads to TopolexicalSovereignty via SystemicLock / deployment: smart city pilots, transport agencies / validation: ≥10% sustained flow redirection (6 months, sensor/agent analysis) / license: CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 / Anto Lloveras is a transdisciplinary architect, theorist, artist, urbanist, curator, and researcher / citation: Lloveras, A.
