SYNTHOGRAPHIES. THE AESTHETIC AND EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES POSED BY AI GENERATED IMAGES

This contribution explores the aesthetic and educational implications of AI-generated images, examining their potential to redefine visual literacy. By drawing on the contemporary aesthetic debate, it discusses how text-to-image technologies challenge traditional notions of representation, and reconfigure both the wordimage relationship and the documental value of images. Finally, it advocates for a renewed approach to visual literacy, combining pedagogical and aesthetic frameworks to foster a deeper and more critical engagement with the ethical and creative dimensions of AI-generated images.
