Artist Diemut Strebe and Brian Wardle, professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT, collaborated on an arts and science project to create the blackest black material to date. In an interview Wardle proposes that the darkest material is ‘is a constantly moving target’25. The aerospace community celebrates darkness to prevent glare; perhaps this same principle needs to be redirected toward alignment research. As Pasquinelli asks, “will darkness ever have its own medium of communication? Will it ever be possible to envision a medium that operates via negation, abduction, absence, the void, and the non-luminous?”(...more)
