the blackest black

there's been a lot of chatter with the winter olympics starting tomorrow.
in the midst of all of that, i stumbled upon this pavilion designed by asif khan using that chemical substance that absorbs almost all (99.965%) of radiation of the visual spectrum.
vantablack.
it's a visual black hole and completely disrupts three dimensional space. though, it adds elements of it back with the assorted star-lights outside.
“from a distance the structure has the appearance of a window looking into the depths of outer space. as you approach it, this impression grows to fill your entire field of view. so on entering the building, it feels as though you are being absorbed into a cloud of blackness."
