"That sounds like actual investment into the art. Howabout instead I vantablack a heap in the middle of a room, leave it uncovered an let people walk around it? Same effect but soooo much less work for me, Anish Kapoor's straw-filled bodydouble"
(Seriously though, it was so lame. Even in photos, the effect was disappointing.)
Edit: My charming partner has pointed out that literally everyone that hears about Vantablack comes up with more interesting applications than this shit.
examples:
Bam. 30 seconds of brainstorming. And those are ignoring all the cool ideas about playing around with emissive light effects in a room with no reflections.
what the fuck is this even supposed to look like...? the entire point is that it turns an object essentially to its silhouette, and he couldn't come up with an interesting silhouette?
He was going for "look at how this incredibly complex textured surface looks like it's just an outline now isn't it wild???" but failed to realize that a big pile of bullshit painted black just looks like... a big pile of bullshit painted black. It's almost impressive how boring his ideas were. "Look the corner is triangular wooOOoooOOOooo". He didn't even go with something meta, like a scale model of his super reflective Bean sculpture coated in the stuff.
Just such a fuckin' waste that vapid asshole was the artist that got to play with the stuff.
wait he's the guy responsible for the bean? damn. at least that one is interesting to look at.
Paint a cup handle, some of the side where it is attached to the cup black, so that it looks like the cup has no handle.
I award you the official title of "More Creative Than Kapoor"! It's not a unique title, but it's still one to bear with pride.
