I noticed lordsorril is using a Vantablack cloth as a photo backdrop.
I had read about this product when it first appeared, but quickly lost track of it.
Recently I did some reading about it, and it’s quite hilarious.
VantaBlack is the blackest black ever invented. It absorbs 99.6% of all visible light, turning anything that is coated by it into a 2 dimensional black hole.
An artist by the name of Anish Kapoor somehow procured the “right” to be the ONLY artist licensed to use Vantablack.
This quickly caused a widespread outcry in the artist community, until yet another artist, by name of Stuart Semple, created the worlds “PINKEST PINK” which was then marketed to everyone except Anish Kapoor! LOL!
Anish Kapoor was undeterred, he got some PINK, dipped his center finger into it, and posted an obscene gesture to his Instagram page.
