I Heart Chaos

New Van Gogh painting discovered with the help of modern technology

The above painting, “Still life with roses and field flowers” wasn’t unknown to art historians, but until now, the artist has been unknown. Some had suspected it was done by Van Gogh, but it was unsigned and is unlike any of his other known works. But using a new technique called Macro Scanning X-ray Fluorescence Spectometry, it’s been confirmed that indeed this is a Van Gogh.

Artist creatives an interactive version of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”

Petros Vrellis has created an interactive visualisation and synthesizer that animates Vincent Van Goghs “Starry Night”, using openframeworks to create a simple and elegant interaction. A fluid simulation gently creates a flowing fabric from Van Goghs impressionist portrait of the Milky Way and night sky over Saint-Rémy in France using the thick paint daubs as the particles within the fluid.

A touch interface allows a viewer to deform the image, altering both the flow of the particles and the synthesized sound, and then watch it slowly return to its original state. The sound itself is created using a MIDI interface to create a soft ambient tone out of the movement of the fluid that underscores the soft movement. Beauty through simplicity at its finest and most playful.

Van Gogh gets tilt-shifted

People have been having all sorts of fun with tilt-shift photography lately, and if you turn the technique on paintings, some work better than others. The works of Van Gogh, probably due to their bright colors, thick lines and high contrast apparently do really well tilt-shifted.
