The aim of the paper is to identify major presenting features of dissipativity among cinema, television, and Internet morphologies as morphologies of audiovisual origin. Research methodology. The author uses the ideas of dissipativity researchers such as Hermann Haken, Benoît B. Mandelbrot with his theory of deterministic chaos, P. Buck and others. However, the fundamental work is by I. Prigozhin and G. Nikolis, who introduced the concept of “dissipativity” and combined the process of “dissipating” with the fact of the existence of the unbalanced natural systems. Results. Based on the analysis of the art criticism it is revealed that the effect of the principle of dissipativity on the latest morphologies of audiovisual and multisensory origin is total. Dissipativity is visualized variously in modern, postmodern and post-postmodern morphologies, “increasing” its fluctuation potential and capacity for self-organization. The ontological “openness” of the newest morphological audiovisual systems enhances the “coincidence” of the creation of new artistic forms and genres. If, in cinema art, the processes of morphological “dissipating” were visualized only at the stage of artistic avant-gardism, then postmodern television art showed the ability to complex morphological formation from the first years of its existence. Unlike the previous two morphologies, Internet morphology was definitely a complex self-organizing, “open” system with unstable morphological features. Novelty. An attempt is made at identifying major presenting features of dissipativity among cinema, television, and Internet morphologies. Based on the analysis of the structural elements of audiovisual morphologies, the author reveals the realization of the principle of dissipativity as a sign of transformation of audiovisual art at the present stage. The practical significance. The material in this article can be used in training cinematography and television professionals specializing in 021 “Audiovisual Arts and Production”.
