Abstract
This research examines the ethical implications of using animation to reinterpret still art, with a focus on the potential loss of artistic integrity and value. Using animated adaptations of Vincent van Gogh's masterpieces as a case study, the project introduces a virtual gallery aimed at encouraging reflection on the need for industry standards in the responsible creation of animated adaptations. The study begins by exploring animation as both an art form and a medium, followed by an analysis of its role in shifting cultural preferences from still artworks to animated interpretations. Building on this foundation, the research investigates the ethical concerns surrounding animation, including legal rights and responsibilities. A thorough exploration of Van Gogh's life and artistic contributions provides essential context for understanding his work and its adaptations. These findings guided the development of an ethical framework for the responsible animation of artwork, advocating for standards that preserve artistic integrity in animated adaptations. The virtual gallery embraces both creativity and animation while emphasizing the importance of responsibility in this process.
