Abstract

Modern advances in the information technology have created conditions for virtuality of myths, their symbolization. Their creation of esthetic potential depends on the artistic taste of the people. At the given stage of historical development of the Russian society, we observe the activity of human esthetics, where the creation of myths is dominant. While in their rationality people try to achieve a clear world view, in myths they try to find the unconscious relieve. The spontaneous process of people's mastering the global information network in the virtual culture generates a new mythology, stemming from the idea of getting pleasure through information.
