This study examines the role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the artistic-critical production of images as a tool for re-signifying memory. Grounded in a theoretical framework grounded in visual studies, emerging concepts around generative imagery and their application in postmemory practices are analyzed. The research focuses on significant cases from the Ibero-American context (Un archivo queer inexistente [2022], Exhumar la memor.IA [2023], IAbuelas [2023], Synthetic Memories [2023], Con la carne desnuda [2024]), which explore how these new forms of visual production intervene in the construction, deconstruction, and critical reflection of affective, political, and collective memory. The study reveals the emergence of new conceptual frameworks for theorizing the image in the advent of generative AI, specifically in the processes of construction and deconstruction of fractured memory.
