Summary/Abstract: Understanding the world of the media as a total spectacle, in the spirit of critical radicalism, leaves no room for an interpretation of what (hypothetically) is outside the domain of the media produced culture. Similarly, this world can also be interpreted as a monadic structure of perception "without a window", similar to the Leibniz's mathematical universe constructed in the 17th century, which was made possible by ars combinatoria; Such views of the world of media culture primarily relate to today's Western European civilization, which increasingly becomes the community through the technological way of generating spectacles, which fulfill almost the entire cultural paradigm of our time. In this connection, the question arises from which viewpoint, in such an interpretative context, it would be possible to carry out a critique of the media, and that, in doing so, it is based on the aesthetics, on the one hand, and the fluid exits of contemporary media culture, on the other hand?
