Abstract

Grasping of the environment, whether it be urban or virtual, by modern youth often happens thanks to not non-institutionalized practices. Creation of graffiti, in particular, is one of such practices. This practice has come out far beyond physical space and achieved the status of a comprehensive representation of youth cultural subjectivity in the media environment. The stability of this practice, despite its provocative and sometimes vandal nature, demonstrates that it deals with fundamental patterns of axiological and normative behavior model of youth. An essential factor which allows graffiti to serve as the "voice" of youth is technical availability and simplicity of images transfer in the virtual space, absence of any qualification requirement on their creation and a rather low level of social sanctions.Videocracy which is a sociocultural characteristic of the present transforms subject - object and subject - subject relations among young people and, if does not cancel, but expresses an urgent need to review classical ideas, for example, of art.
