Methodologically, it combines netnography and case-study research; the empirical corpus includes international projects (2022-2025) that use generative images to work with personal, family, and collective memory. The analysis identifies two core media logics: augmentation (creating visual representations of events that were not captured on film) and transformation (altering the modality of existing material). It is shown that generative technologies shift memory from a regime of reproduction to a regime of production, generating hybrid forms of memory that are simultaneously personal and collective. The findings also highlight the ambivalence of these technologies’ effects-from therapeutic applications and the decolonization of visual archives to the risks of commodifying emotions and producing false memories.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Исследование опирается на четырехуровневую аналитическую рамку, объединяющую концепции глубокой медиатизации (Hepp), гибридной агентности, анализ медиалогики, действующей в изучаемых практиках, и новой экологии памяти (Hoskins). Методология сочетает кейс-стади и метод нетнографии - цифровой этнографии интернет-сообществ, эмпирическая база включает проекты (2022-2025) из разных стран, использующие генеративные изображения для работы с личной, семейной и коллективной памятью. Анализ выявил два базовых принципа: дополнение (создание визуальных репрезентаций событий, которые не были запечатлены на пленке) и трансформацию (изменение модальности существующего материала). Показано, что генеративные технологии трансформируют память из режима репродукции в режим производства, создавая гибридные формы памяти, одновременно и личные, и коллективные. Выявлена амбивалентность последствий применения технологии от терапевтического использования и деколонизации визуальных архивов до рисков коммодификации эмоций и формирования ложных воспоминаний.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>generative artificial intelligence</kwd><kwd>memory mediatization</kwd><kwd>personal memories</kwd><kwd>media logics</kwd><kwd>visual archive</kwd><kwd>hybrid agency</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>генеративный искусственный интеллект</kwd><kwd>медиатизация памяти</kwd><kwd>персональные воспоминания</kwd><kwd>медиалогика</kwd><kwd>визуальный архив</kwd><kwd>гибридная агентность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bañuelos Capistrán, J., Zavala-Scherer, D., &amp; Lugo Rodríguez, N.
