Summary/Abstract: In the article, the author discusses the aesthetics of image and comix memes, which are regarded as one of the most indicative trends of organizing the utterance on the net and the most popular mean of expressing oneself in certain communities of cyberculture. Observations of these objects in the communicative environment allowed us to identify a wide range of issues connected to aesthetics of everyday life such as the genesis of the objects, nominations of the units, identification of the sign, motives, social behavior, and cultural and communicative practices, forms of self-expression and pragmatical functionality of the units in global space and in Polish and Russian segments of the Internet.
