In episode 02 of Possible Poetry my guests are Felipe Cussen and Martin Bakero, two of the most important conteporary experimental poets and artists from Chile. Felipe is a conceptual poet/ artist and scientific researcher from University of Santiago de Chile. Martin Bakero is a Soundpoetry/ Performance Artist and Psychoanalyst from Chile now living in Paris. We had a truly deep talk about technology and artificial intelligence, about poetry as play, poetic decisions, negative poetics, transformation & transmutation, psychotic and schizophrenic experiences, the ethical position of poets, about the crazy connection of mystical experience and experimental poetry, about the inspiration of “not understanding” and “non-determination”, about non-sense as an expression of “non serviam” and a poetry that goes beyond language. We also get a very concise introduction to the history and contemporary state of the experimental poetry scene in Chile and we learn about a powerful underground-connection between Writers Forum in London and the experimental poetry scene in Chile. We get introduced to a brandnew international network of experimental artists working between genres. And we finish off with an improvised sound poetry session.
