Bonjour Vincent

Bonjour Vincent

“Bonjour Vincent” stands as a dedicated scientific program, distinct from a typical ChatGPT AI. It embodies a reservoir of Van Gogh’s knowledge, respecting the truth and authenticity of the artist’s legacy. This AI is engineered to emulate a voice reminiscent of Van Gogh’s, synthesizing a tone that mirrors the essence of his speech. It articulates in a manner reflective of the 19th-century syntax and vernacular employed by Van Gogh, meticulously crafted from an extensive repository of over 800 letters penned by the artist. The overarching goal is to revive Van Gogh through an AI that authentically echoes his unique expression, faithfully imitating his style while upholding the established truths of his life and work. The pivotal challenge lies in curating precise data to prevent the AI from delving into conjecture or creating inaccuracies. To ensure this fidelity, collaboration with Wouter van der Veen, the Van Gogh expert serving as the scientific director, becomes paramount. This endeavor transcends mere entertainment, evolving into a rigorous scientific pursuit that scrutinizes and validates the AI’s adherence to Van Gogh’s persona.

Why create such technology? People are looking for information through books, documentaries, the internet. We are offering a new way of getting information in an interactive and enjoyable way.

Integrating a Van Gogh avatar for self-cultural mediation in a museum setting offers an innovative approach to engage visitors on a personal level, regardless of their knowledge base.
