PAPER:
The visualization of media space by communication means.

ANNOTATION:
The most part of information, which received by the person comes by means of visual communication. The sight helps a communicator to turn on the mechanism of identification of objects of surrounding reality. The person accepting visual information, logically comprehends it and designs virtual images, which he is triing to adapt for display of a real condition of considered object.

The visual basis doesn't exist in a separation from other components. Audio and visual values are integrated among themselves at the moment of perception. Audiovisual property of perception gives to the person possibility of the most exact display of reality. The television places the person in the center of events. In the real life it is more difficult to do, as it changes with an improbable speed. Virtually it is much simpler to present itself in the center of events.

The development of a civilization complicated perception of objects. Appearance of artifacts, opportunities to create and analyze artificially created signals with the help of devices gave opportunity to create artificial visual images on screens and expand virtual and visual space. Maklyuen emphasized that any social technology is an expansion of perceptions of the person. Visual devices create absolutely new bases for social technology of television and of the Internet.

Thus, the ideas about the world continuously extends. The formation of a visual picture can be carried out by means of organs of sense and as logical representation of an image. Designing visual reality, the expert has to pay attention to possibilities of visual policy. Visual perception of respondents depends not only from visual components, but also from everything that the author visual means in the own matter.

All concepts and the discourses, caused by practical tasks, and also the purposeful activity connected with formation of the vital relations between the state and social groups in the field of visual and sign communications represents visual policy which the can be effective only when causes system of actions wished by the politician. For the recipient is important not only to understand this system, "acceptance" of this system is also important, the motivation the recipient in the subsequent actions is even more important.
