Abstract
<jats:p>This chapter examines the transformative impact of digital technologies on artistic production and visual communication, focusing on photography and digital images. It argues that digital visuality constitutes a new way of seeing and remembering, reshaping aesthetic norms, cultural representation, and collective memory. Drawing on theorists such as McLuhan, Flusser, Manovich, and Mitchell, the chapter explores how digital images function as tools of perception, cultural memory, and social witnessing. Through case studies including AI-generated art, protest imagery like the “Lady in Red,” and social media archives, the chapter highlights the dual role of digital images as both aesthetic and mnemonic agents in contemporary culture.</jats:p>
