abstract:
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.
