Keywords:
Virtual Reality, Hermeneutics, Painting, Vincent van Gogh, The Starry NightAbstract
Vincent van Gogh's most iconic artwork has opened up to various interpretations over time. "The Starry Night" is one such masterpiece brought to life through modern technology, with the Virtual Reality (VR) experience providing a new perspective for understanding this classic work of art. This study aims to explore how the VR experience enriches the visual and emotional interpretation of this artwork. The study uses qualitative methods, focusing on the visual and emotional analysis of the VR experience, using Gadamer's hermeneutic circle approach. The analysis examines how visual elements such as dynamic camera movements, vivid colors, and swirling effects in the sky are translated into an immersive digital format. The VR experience allows viewers to enter Van Gogh's world and experience the intensity of emotion and visual aesthetics conveyed. The study's findings demonstrate that VR can create a rich new context and enrich the understanding of this classic work of art. This research confirms that VR technology can enrich our experience of classical art, allowing for richer and more varied interpretations of familiar works.
