Abstract

The present article discusses the following questions and ideas: 1) There is a world wide web characteristic
language?; 2) There is on world wide web a own aesthetic?; 3) The dichotomy, divergence or ambiguity on
world wide web signals; 4)The literal and symbolic aspects on these imagens. Althought internet be a recent
media, questions involving the image are not so new, remonting from the litography (image des-reconstruction)
until the semiotic (symbolic information character). The internet itself while ‘new media’ is
questioned, while the image discussion is extended to all existent medias (internet included).
