The Revolt of Virtual Masses In my presentation, I compare the crowd turned into a shapeless, deformed mass of humans gathered in a real, material sphere with psychological processes taking place in virtual space, which without direct coexistence provokes the same self-loss and regression than real crowds. In the case of virtual masses, the situation is different, people who constitute the mass orientate in the world encompassed by the internet with the help of social media. In the context of social media there is no good, bad, true and false. Communication is constantly dominated by the euphoric and obsessed sensations and the participants do not realize the algorithms delivered by the Big Data, through these they become unrestrictedly influenced. Creation turns into the wrong way.
