científico

Este pequeño texto surge del diálogo que tengo con Ryan Greene, escritor , traductor y «book-farmer» que recientemente está creando interesantes caminos de traducción usando «transfluxión interactiva». Me emociona que la poesía encuentre en la tecnología nuevas vías de mostrarse; que las semillas de algún poema sean visitadas, cliqueadas y germinen en estos espacios acercando dos mundos en una misma tarea. Mi contribución a este diálogo con Ryan, nace de una relectura de EL NUEVO MUNDO, de la inspiración recibida de la poesía de Kenji Miyazawa y Enrique Verástegui, y de escuchar la propuesta terapéutica del pensamiento del corazón presentada por Pedro Favaron. Dentro de la filosofía de la ciencia, he encontrado un espacio para considerar seriamente esta propuesta en la visión crítica de Feyerabend.

What are poetechnics

We need a dream-world
in order to discover the features of
the real world we think we inhabit.

Paul Karl Feyerabend, Against Method

Poetic designs that intervene technological and scientific languages. They are rooted in the poetic appropriation and exploration of scientific language and frameworks in order to reengage equations, diagrams, and schematics using the fibers of the heart. Poetechnics tell us that “scientific objectivity” is in dialogue with the creation of our subjectivity and that the “objective” is connected with particular forms of feeling and thinking. Poetechnics reveal that the languages of the scientific method are subjective and that there’s nothing wrong with that – these languages can be springboards for the scientist’s and poet’s subjectivity: a game of knowledge and heart. Either way, to attend to one subjectivity is to attend to the other. The poetic laboratory and the scientific laboratory aren’t dissociated from one another. The poet is a scientist and the scientist is a poet who meet again when they each cultivate an observation of the world where the measured pattern of things and their mystery, the answer and the question dance together without either one dominating the other. Perhaps this is something that all our scientists and poets need – to freely cultivate a childlike and wonderstruck vision of our worlds without dissociating mind and body. I see poetechnics as a seed of new cultures where science and poetry are seen in another way. Cultures reverberating with the new nature summoned by the poet Kenji Miyazawa, and which was the integral poetics of Enrique Verástegui. Poetechnics are a contribution to the growth of interwoven worlds that can be more just toward (bio)diversity and more beautiful, and where the Krebs cycle and the irreducible singularity of life can beat within the heart as it watches a sprouting seed.
