I'm Sorry, Dave, I'm Afraid I Can't Do That

I've mentioned elsewhere that I have a history in traditional visual art, and still keep a ear to the ground in that world. So I was familiar with the development of Vantablack, its exclusive artistic licensing by Anish Kapoor, and the wonderfully spiteful response by Stuart Semple with Black 2.0 and Black 3.0. As someone who fully supported this response and wanted to support the artist, I tried to figure out how best to use such a paint. My first idea was Hotblack Desiato's "funeral ship" from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, but there are a bunch of other HHGttG ships that I wanted to get to first. But the space theme stuck, and I remembered another project I've been meaning to get to for some time...the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
