Over the last three decades, we have witnessed a growing and evolving process of multiplication, hybridization, production and dissemination of signs and languages enabled by digitalization. New cognitive, communicative and cultural objects emerge as a media ecology, configuring a new communication ecosystem, which becomes as important as natural ecosystems. Perceptual and cognitive mutations related to the impact of modern digital technologies are achieving greater visibility via processes of knowledge diffusion and decentralization around youth sensibilities and their countercultures. These cultural mutations challenge modern systems of educational broadcast centered around the school and the book, and emphasize what might be understood as a generational gap or role reversal, wherein youth - by virtue of their greater empathy and neuronal plasticity - assume ownership of digital technologies and therefore become the main driving force in this process. A cognitive ecology that expresses itself in the dynamics of networked learning emerges as an expression of connected minds, minds that remain supported by a digital ecology. Bodies and spaces become marked by their interconnection, communicative flow capacity, against the background of Hacker ethics and free culture. The digital commons becomes a shared ground for the possibilities of open participation, sharing and collaboration, and the implementation of a multimedia, multimodal network. In order to map these new digital features of youth subjectivity, a study about Visualizar'11 was conducted. Visualizar'11 is a Medialab Prado program designed as an open research project, participatory and collaborative, which addresses theories, tools and strategies for data visualization. Theoretically and methodologically based upon Actor-Network Theory, this research studied Visualizar'11 as a case of inquiry, mapping the development of a learning network by following its traces within a cognitive and digital ecosystem of communication, and reconstructing the associations between human and nonhuman actants, which act as mediators weaving a web of connections. The inseparability of communicative, cognitive and digital ecosystems is evidenced within a system-integrated environment that fosters the emergence of a collective mind as a shared property. These relationships were used as references for theoretical reflections based on an ecosystemic, semiotic approach which identified patterns present in the appropriation and mediation of hypermedia language in dynamic cognitive networks. These new standards enhance and foster the emergence of cooperative learning environments, which arise from interactive reciprocity, in recognition of the interdependence between thought processes, knowledge building and the environment; and are oriented toward an education which belongs to the relational era, one that does not separate the individual from her relationships and the world
