Summary/Abstract: Poetry, in its turn, enters the interrogative sphere of digital expressivity and possibilities. The digital sphere imposes a form of interrogation upon the individual identity and the poetic intention, but also upon the artistic act/gesture in itself, thus generating radical metamorphoses unto the poetic form and expression. Moreover, the digital spectre and the literary modes of integrating it in a poetic discourse can even question the idea of experiment in itself and its validity, because the digital language functions under its own rules, while the poetic discourse becomes peripheral. The poetic expression represents a specific form of transmission, but its nature and functionality are questioned through the digital(/digitised) language. For the exploration of these cultural and aesthetic metamorphoses, several contemporary poetic volumes will be analysed, such as Cătălin Șuteu’s apelofo_b, Dmitri Miticov’s Dmitri: INTJ/Extincție, Florentin Popa’s Dezintegrare, and Sutta and Bogdan Tiutiu’s Mai ales că totul se poate dizolva în orice clipă. These volumes represent different forms in which the individual relates to the poetic discourse (and vice versa), and also modes of integrating digital elements in the poetic body. Thus, the scope of the paper aims at capturing and analysing the metamorphoses identified in the contemporary poetic discourse, focusing on the volumes mentioned above, and, at the same time, aims at initiating interrogations upon the nature, scope, and intentions of the artistic gesture within a digital paradigm.
