I highly recommend the film Loving Vincent. It's visually stunning, like a Van Gogh come to life. It's the world's first fully painted film, with over 65,000 frames on over 1,000 canvases. It is brilliant.

Any reason why AI Van Gogh couldn't have a Dutch accent? He sounds much like David Beckham.

The people who made it probably didn't have access to the better text to speech stuff. I've heard better AI voices

I'm guessing there are different languages available for international audiences. It would be nice to have an voice actor to narrates the letters

@burningmanmike Does Beckham have a Cockney accent? That’s how Vincent sounds to me; it’s a little distracting.

Yes came here to say the same thing... I'm not even Dutch and it drives me crazy how many people assume how to pronounce Van Gogh.

This is taking away all of the mystique and spirit of this artist life.Turning him into a JUKE BOX Menu no thank you.I still remember the book I read in Junior High on his life and how this earned my admiration for Mr van Gogh and his work.

This is so grotesque, just put legible translations of his actual letters up

That is brilliant! It gives people another way of learning about Van Gogh 's life and inspiration. It could attracts people that do read or are not much into art to get more curious and seeking on discovering more. The avatar and the voice is obviously not perfect but it also reminds you that you should look for info by yourself because you are "only talking to an avatar" Well done Musée D'Orsay

@scottmcguirk4848 10 ай бұрын

Yes. Thought the same when showing letters the A.I. used. Maybe an A.I. based on his writings would work in a video game, but galleries and museums should be places of reflection to access the source material. Cool they did it. But just cool. Don’t want a repeat.

That bad animation creepy but getting into his journals great. Not only a tragic genius painter but one of the great descriptive writers of his own work we have!

Love all of Seth Doane's segments. The only constructive criticism is for the show segment schedulers -- looked up the exhibit and it's now over. Granted, it was a short one from Oct to early Feb, but would've been great to see this segment early-on in the exhibition, and if traveling, go to see the artwork and interact with the AI in-person.

AI Van Gogh An OpEd by Deb Rosman I have seen a couple of recent AI versions of this beloved painter and am wondering what Van Gogh would actually say. I suspect that he’s happy with how well his work is doing and that his art survives to this day. Vincent is my personal favorite and I suspect that it is fun to be able to ask his avatar questions. I know that his most valuable lessons are best learned by being in the presence of his work. Case in point, I was able to see Starry Night up close and in person at MoMa NYC. It was a quiet afternoon and there was a place to sit near the front of the painting. I was fortunate to have quality time alone with him. First thing that captured me were the textures and vivid colors they transfixed, transformed then transported me into the chilly night air. I sat still for a long while drinking in the night sky, feeling a soft breeze and smelling the earth before realizing silent tears were flowing down my face. This all reminds me of the first time I met Van Gogh in person, I was at the Guggenheim. I was there to see some modern artist’s exhibition, who I cannot remember the name of. We needed a break and stepped into a small side gallery where I stopped abruptly. I was so taken, awestruck really by what I saw, It was Sunflowers. The first impression was how tiny the painting is. I was used to seeing it recreated on banners, flags and blankets. I was amazed at the texture and saturation of colors. I fell completely in love with Vincent on that day and my love, like sunflowers, still grows. Summary of AI Van Gogh is simply that, you do not need to talk to his Avatar to understand the artist. No doubt that it would be very entertaining-amusing but in my opinion if you want to understand the man just spend time with his work. To hear him, all you need to do, is view his art. I leave you with to ponder a quote by Eckhart Tolle, “Stillness Speaks” and in that quiet, intimate moment you will hear Van Gogh.

Imagine having to read through everything you’ve ever written to find one thought or random fact. What will change the most about having AI in our lives is the ability to do searches like this of any collection of information without having to rely on already knowing the right keyword, or right question to ask. There are already new kinds of search engines that can remember your interests, collecting, compiling, summarizing, personalizing entire libraries to refine its ‘conversation’ so you can talk to Van Gogh -or even yourself!

Would have been lovely to hear him speak Dutch. And if only we would all call him Vincent, his first name, just like Rembrandt used his first name. He knew nobody outside of the Netherlands could pronounce his last name "van Gogh" and that's why he signed Vincent, and his paintings should be called Vincents. We don't say "Van Rijn" to Rembrandt either.

why would the AI have a british accent? it should have a dutch accent! and even the curators don't pronounce his name correctly?????

@___beyondhorizon4664 10 ай бұрын

Our CBS presenter did not learn how to pronounce the museum correctly 😔 Vincent spend most of his time in Arles, Provence, far from Paris, he was productive when he saw the sunlight in the south. BBC did a few documentaries on Vincent in the past

That fake "AI" Van Gogh seems a bit creepy and speaks WAY too fast... I would much rather look at Vincent's art & read his letters than look at a programmed robot that deems what Vincent WOULD say.

@e.seifried7060 10 ай бұрын

Ugh. Two teenage boys who had been bullying Van Gogh were seem playing with the gun the day he died. It is believed that one of them killed him. He covered for them and didn't tell anyone. The idea that he committed suicide is old. AND it is very unlikely he cut his ear off! His ear went missing after he confronted Gauguin, a master swordsman, in a dark alley, over his having slept with Rachel, whom Van Gogh was in love with. And he is not British. What's up with that accent? And we in the US Frenchized his name. It's not Van Go. It's "Gogh" which sounds very different. Very disappointed in the misinformation here.

So annoying hearing Americans pronouncing his name "van GO". Vincent himself dreaded becoming famous because he knew people would mispronounce his surname. Americans don't even try.
