Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the process of actualization of the concept of value universals of Cosmism in artistic dimension of contemporary media culture. On the example of virtualization of the theatrical art is demonstrated the perspective of innovative media technologies in their successful implementation based on the dominant axiological dimension of Cosmism harmonious social and cultural project for synthesizing scientific and technological achievements of the era of intensive development of the means of mass communication and the eternal values of the culture. Currently, the most important elements of the world culture are (ternary) virtual realities, which are designed with the help of innovative media technologies; they gradually change the typology of all ways of life of the person. In terms of characteristics of representative mechanisms of virtual reality (hypertext, causality, multivariate, synergy, highperformance communication and so forth), which correspond with the attributes of the outlook and measurement of Cosmism, the internet network is the most fertile ground for the demonstration of precious Universal Cosmo planet cultural paradigm of creative understanding of the Universe ( the interdependence, unity, syncretism, to some extent eklizm , the synthesis of different art practices , collectivity, etc.). Not least among the components of the structure is a fundamental concept of Cosmism, which is aimed at improving of the emperistic being by means of artistic expression. One of the clearest illustrations of the theurgist environment in which an attempt to achieve a uniform level of communication interaction is made (trans-state, international, cross-cultural), to synthesize a variety of cultural traditions, to integrate productive strategy for the implementation of futures programs of cosmists, and finally to reduce the difference between art and life, is a widespread practice of media online broadcasts of theatrical performances and recently created project of online theatre. In these kinds of contemporary media art change the laws of drama that govern the conduct of ordinary performances in ordinary theaters. Also changed the art form and along with it changed categories such as time and space, the functions of the actors of the representation (the authors and the audience) become different, changed the space in which information is exchanged (the field of generation, transmission, perception). The boundaries of the cultural forms have new features (they are situational, dissipative, mobile, and almost imperceptible), expand and become more complex space in which participants act and the borders, of which they themselves define, set features of the author and the audience dissolved. In the theatrical show, which was created by the web site, the author is not only the author, and the audience is not just a spectator. Both the first and second are not fully represented. The author is not the only creator; its function does not end there. Consumer opinion is gradually acquiring a copyright signs. Therefore it is not possible to fully determine who is who: the spectator, who is also a co-author, eliminates the functions specific only to the author and the author, in turn, ensures the viewer attempts to organize a form of performance art, as an open system. Each of them should ever be in one of two statuses at the same time to present himself as a consumer and as a generator of cultural meanings. Space online theater is a symbolic information space, which is a metaphorical mapping of a Cosmo planet value of unity. In contrast, the elements of emperistic being, digital theater shows do not change over time, they become eternal, which also fits into the axiological dimension of Cosmism. The death destruction, achieving immortality, the idea of resurrection – is the central plot of N. F. Fedorov reflection whose philosophical ideas are rightly considered the theoretical and ideological basis of the concept of Cosmism. Resume (or online update) signed symbolic space of online theater shows significant discovery of cosmists regarding the reconstruction of the past and continuing, and sometimes a reflection of the human being as an information code. Thus ideas of cosmists successfully implemented using the most contemporary art practice, at the same time innovative communication tools based on art constructive basis of Cosmism contribute to the generation of a new art (social and cultural) project, which harmoniously synthesizes scientific and technical achievements of the era of the information society and the existence of permanent constituent elements of spiritual culture. Even in such a technically imperfect art project as an online theater felt reducing the difference between art and life. Here there are also the "unity of art and technology of mysticism" about which V. S. Soloviev wrote, and "total consciousness" equal participation of the audience and authors are mentioned by V. V. Ivanov. This means that the perspectives and creative problem solving in the axiological space of Cosmism are endless for authors of the third millennium, who are looking for ways of discovering new mental spaces for self-realization of the creative spirit. This means that the perspectives and solutions to the problems of axiological space of Cosmism are endless for the third millennium authors, who are looking for ways of discovering new mental spaces for self-realization of the creative spirit.
