Space-Time Semiotics in Information Technology Applications

The paper studies the problem of human perception of space and time in the context of the widespread introduction of information and communication technologies. From the viewpoint of philosophy, the interaction of the subject with the surrounding world in dynamics forms an integrated “space and time” environment, which contains several variations or versions reflecting the objective and virtual reality of possible development scenarios. These issues are considered within the framework of scientific directions of geoinformatics, cartographic semiotics, and geo-semiotics, on the basis of which it is possible to build a new model of visualization and perception of space and time based on cartographic representation. This leads to a change in language being used to present the information and in general vocabulary and signs processed by a person in the process of perception. In this context there is considered a semiotics of space-time in modern applications of information technology.
