Synopsis

Vincent van Gogh spends the final two months of his life in Auvers- sur-Oise, where Doctor Gachet lives, a friend of the Impressionists, a ­collector and an amateur painter. On 27 June 1890, the doctor lends Van Gogh a palette so that the artist could finish the portrait of his daughter ­Marguerite. This historic palette is now part of the Musée d’­Orsay’s collection. Serving as an imaginary virtual landscape, Van ­Gogh’s Palette offers visitors a uniquely interactive and sensory ­experience of works painted by Van Gogh during this crucial period ­ of his career.

GORDON

After having studied graphism in the École Estienne in Paris, Gordon specialized in television formatting. He formatted and created various TV channel brand identities, and oversaw their artistic direction (France Télévisions, Radio Canada, Prime be, M6music, Abu Dhabi TV...)
This work eventually led him to filmmaking. Alongside Andy Sommer or Philippe Béziat, Gordon wrote and directed cultural programs. This is how several movies (and then their corresponding iPad applications) saw the light of day: “Le Carnaval des animaux” with Radio France’s Philharmonic Orchestra, Myung-Whun Chung et Smaïn (Grand Prix Italia 2011, Grand Prix et Prix du public du Golden Prague 2011), “Les quatre saisons d'Antoine” with the Ensemble Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini and Pierre Richard, followed by “Pierre et le Loup” with the Orchestre National de France, directed by Daniele Gatti and narrated by François Morel (Grand Prix Digital Award Bologna 2014, Golden Rose in Berlin 2014), which went on to be adapted as a book (and its audio version) with Helium Editions. “Quinte & Sens” with François-René Martin, a musical movie produced in the Philharmonie de Paris with the Orchestre de Paris, in collaboration with Camera Lucida and ARTE France. He has also directed several virtual reality experiences: With Andrés Jarach, “Condamnés à jouer”, a 360° movie co-written with Marie Sellier; “1, 2, 3 Bruegel”, a virtual reality game; “Replay Memories”, which was presented in the BnF in 2021 and questions the role of historical facts in the age of algorithms. “Archi VR”, a series on architecture produced in VR. The production of a pilot episode about the Villa Savoye is also underway, with the collaboration of the French Centre des Monuments Nationaux (a French government body which conserves, restores, and manages French historic buildings and sites) and the Le Corbusier Foundation.
Lastly, Gordon has produced a few augmented reality (AR) experiences: “BiblioQuête” co-written with Andrés Jarach, a game for children created for media libraries. It was co-produced by Red Corner and France Télévisions. “La Petite Danseuse”: co-written with Marie Sellier, an augmented reality experience about The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer, a sculpture by Degas. It was co-produced by Lucid Realities with the Museum of Orsay and France Télévisions.

Encountering the Virtual and the Real:

A Beginner's Guide to XR

´Ý±â¹öư

Unlike simply watching a screen, XR allows you to step into the story space through VR devices. You may become the protagonist, listen to the protagonist's story as if a friend is narrating, or use controllers to move and guide the story yourself. This freedom to explore and experience the story space is what sets it apart. Discover the new face of cinema, where rapidly advancing technology and art meet and transform.

XR stands for eXtended Reality, encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). VR involves wearing a Head Mounted Display (HMD) device to immerse yourself in a completely new 3D digital space. AR overlays digital content onto the real world, easily accessible through smartphones. MR combines VR and AR, recognizing real-world objects and creating a 3D virtual space around them. XR integrates all these technologies, offering increasingly realistic virtual worlds.

You can visit the exhibition site, register on the waiting list for the desired works, and view them. Please note that waiting times may be extended if there are many visitors.

¡°DoF stands for Degree of Freedom.¡± 3DoF works allow you to view from various angles by moving your head while wearing the device. 6DoF works enable you to move freely within the space, using controllers to interact with objects in the artwork, providing a more immersive experience.

Some XR works have age restrictions. You can check the viewing age for each work on the website and on-site before viewing. However, due to the nature of VR devices, it is recommended that minors with underdeveloped visual systems avoid excessive viewing for a safe and comfortable experience.

Due to the nature of VR devices requiring individual usage, group viewing is not available. Groups must use the waiting system individually.

The running time of each work varies from 5 to 20 minutes. Please refer to the website for the running times of the works you wish to view. Viewing all the content may require a week-long visit. To avoid discomfort or motion sickness, it is recommended to take sufficient breaks between viewings.
