An interdisciplinary artistic research work analysing the transformation of the visual creator's role in the post-photographic era — from classical photography toward generative digital art. The proposed methodology integrates the Attention–Intention–Message (AIM) matrix and the visual analysis framework, applied to the author's own photographic series and representative international works. The volume features a foreword by literary critic Dr. Ada D. Cruceanu and an afterword by Prof. Dr. Dorel Găină.
