Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the metamorphoses of contemporary art caused by the development of informational-communication technologies. The authors argue that development of the Internet and microprocessor technologies change the ontology of art: the means of storing and reproducing works of art, the ways of creating them and the laws of perception. The Internet user becomes not only a consumer of cultural benefits, including art, but their co-author, at the very least. Communication becomes one of the main functions of culture, while a work of art starts functioning as an object of communication. This results in distancing, dissociating a Spectator (/Reader) from the artistic content of a work of art and even from their own esthetic feelings. Moreover, irony becomes the prevailing rhetoric of perceiving a work of art in the Internet.
