    Vantablack – Le noir le plus noir de tous les temps

    August 29, 2019 / 0 Comments

    En 2015, le sculpteur Anish Kapoor a acheté le noir, la couleur, à la société Surrey NanoSystems. Pas n’importe quel noir : le noir Vantablack qui a des propriétés chimiques spécifiques qui ne se rencontrent pas dans la nature. Ce noir, qui a été créé pour un usage militaire, est tellement profond que l’on ne distingue plus les volumes. C’est donc un camouflage idéal. Fondamentalement, cet événement n’est pas inédit dans la mesure où, en 1960, Yves Klein avait déposé un bleu à son nom (l’International Klein Blue ou IKBlue). Néanmoins, Yves Klein ne s’était juridiquement approprié que la recette chimique de ce bleu si particulier et, contrairement au Vantablack d’Anish Kapoor,…

    Vantablack – Das schwärzeste Schwarz der Welt

    August 26, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Im Jahr 2015 kaufte der Bildhauer Anish Kapoor Schwarz, Farbe, von Surrey NanoSystems. Nicht irgendein Schwarz: das Vantablack-Schwarz, das spezifische chemische Eigenschaften hat, die in der Natur nicht vorkommen. Dieses Schwarz, das für militärische Zwecke geschaffen wurde, ist so tief, dass das Volum nicht mehr unterschieden werden kann. Es ist also eine ideale Tarnung. Grundsätzlich ist dieses Ereignis nicht neu, da Yves Klein 1960 ein Blau auf seinen Namen hinterlegt hatte (das International Klein Blue oder IKBlue). Dennoch hatte Yves Klein das chemische Rezept für dieses spezielle Blau nur rechtlich übernommen und im Gegensatz zu Anish Kapoors Vantablack hat jeder das Recht, den IKBlue frei zu verwenden. Neu ist, dass…

    Vantablack- The blackest black ever

    August 16, 2019 / 0 Comments

    In 2015, sculptor Anish Kapoor bought the black colour from Surrey NanoSystems. Not just any black: the Vantablack black which has specific chemical properties that do not occur in nature. This black, which was created for military use, is so deep that the volumes can no longer be distinguished. So it’s an ideal camouflage. Basically, this event is not new insofar as, in 1960, Yves Klein had deposited a blue colour in his name (the International Klein Blue or IKBlue). Nevertheless, Yves Klein had only legally appropriated the chemical recipe for this particular blue and, unlike Anish Kapoor’s Vantablack, everyone has the right to freely use the IKBlue. What is…
