Summary/Abstract: In the proposed presentation we will concern ourselves with the relationship between popular science, contemporary culture and the new forms of daily life on the crossroads of historical development and the answer to the global health crisis that has pushed the social life into something that we will theme as our main thesis – the culture of visualizations. This culture itself is a part of techno-scientific development of the twentieth century from the so called technics of the observer and image science to the cyber-culture and so on. The contemporary state of affairs can not be critically understood on the basis of media theory that has been developed on the grounds of social theory and its critique of technology because the notion of existing relations between the real and the virtual, image and the world effectively disappears in the integral show of visualization.
