The artist's virtual avatar responds to inquiries from attendees at the "Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise: The Final Months" exhibition hosted at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

When one visitor raised queries about why the painter shot himself in the chest at the ripe age of 37, the AI incarnation of Van Gogh replied as per The Guardian, “This is still a subject of speculation among historians and specialists. The truth of my motivation remains a mystery even to me. Thank you for understanding my mental health struggles.”

The Van Gogh replica further explains that he did not sever his entire left ear but rather a "part of my earlobe," which he presented to a maid at a brothel in Arles, France, during a deeply emotional episode in 1888.

How Is The Exhibition Unique?

The exhibition, which includes virtual reality elements, is expected to offer a new and surprising perspective on an artist that everyone is already familiar with, according to Christophe Leribault, the president of Musée d'Orsay.

Leribault told the outlet, “We have many letters from Van Gogh. It is rare that an artist left so many manuscripts and from these, it was possible to develop software to have Van Gogh’s responses to our questions, though, of course, it remains a game. With the VR experience, we can immerse ourselves in Van Gogh’s world via the artist’s palette.”

The president considers such an exhibition to be an unusual and powerful product that showcases Van Gogh’s incredible work which he created in the last two months of his living experience.

The exhibition is set to stay in Paris until February 4, 2024, for art lovers who are enchanted by the painter’s inventive strokes, frames, and canvas.?
