This work aims to present the constitution of a new category of subject, who is treated here as pixel-citizen. Since he (or she) is a subject that doesn't dwell in the territorial geopolitical space, but is rather a dot in the Internet Protocol, he indicates how the meanings of space, time and body have suffered changes and divergences from those instituted throughout modern philosophy. Regarding changes in those meanings, it discusses the dromocratic era and its consequences for the modes of political and social practices representativeness, since this era consists in the repercussion of private interests and the speed of information. Therefore, no longer a local and global space, but a glocalone. Finally, it entices the Law area to reflect, through the bias of Communication and Semiotics, on the virtual citizen and his (her) practices on the network, since most legislations are directed to the flesh-and-bone citizen, different from the glocal pixel-citizen.
