This paper is a brief description of some characteristics of virtual culture, thought here from some discussions made on the concept of the time. The utopy is tied with the movement’s own frenetic and infinite time, and help us shape the contours of babelization and desbabelization. The babelization presuppose mechanisms of production/reception related to proliferation, the confusion (Babel) or amalgam of languages and materials (media) of virtual culture. The desbabelization is linked with the reproduction of same, the homologies or similarities and parody disseminated in the virtual culture.
