Summary/Abstract: Technological facilitations of current communication exchange are considered as a basement of emerging media forms. For example, Facebook allows users to publish multimodal content and to organize it in long-lasting projects. In the “Guy de Montlaur” Facebook-page example, one can see how the classic format of a painting exhibition can be combined with a “personal diary”. Three aspects of such a form will be analyzed: (1) regularity (as a basement of periodicity); (2) principles of the choice of paintings (art-historian aspect); (3) principles of comment (art-critical aspect). In this example, the mechanisms of multilayered communication can be identified. The research approach can be fruitfully applied to other emerging forms and formats of user communication.
