Die Massendigitalisierung von Museumssammlungen hat R\u00e4ume der Bildaggregation im globalem Massstab geschaffen: Musealisierte Artefakte werden zu schwerelos im virtuellen Raum schwebenden Datenpunkten, die sich zu navigierbaren Landschaften formen und latente Beziehungen sichtbar machen sollen. Dank generativer KI sind Archivdaten zur wertvollen Ressource f\u00fcr die Erzeugung neuer, synthetischer Bildwelten geworden. Der Beitrag untersucht die Implikationen dieser Operationalisierung virtueller Bildarchive und fragt nach m\u00f6glichen Alternativen.
