This paper aims at both “mapping” the profile of a groundbreaking poetic discourse in contemporary Romania and correlating it to “planetary” trends. Furthermore, it argues that these artistic discourses reshape the status of poetry in general, by creating permeable, transgressive, and porous structures which conduct to new approaches of space – in its imaginary, poetic or planetary aspects – that we call noopoetic interspace or surspace. By getting closer to rather new theoretical and/ or artistic approaches like geocriticism (B. Westphal), viractualism and immersive creative environments (J. Nechvatal) or experimental artistic installation based on artificial intelligence (R. Anadol), the works we discuss take an important step forward towards a connective world which strives to rediscover its humanity.
