"There's something about this that's so black9th century eroticized body in art it's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black."
Spinal Tap's inane discussion of their pitch-black album cover is the best way we can get a handle on the brand-new pavilion unveiled at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games in South Korea.

In what's being called "the darkest building on Earth," Khan's structure has employed a sprayable version of the ominous Vantablack pigment. Created by UK researchers in 2014 and trademarked by British artist Anish Kapoor, Vantablack is touted as the darkest known artificial substance in the world — it absorbs up to 99.965 percent of light that hits its surface.

According to Dezeen, the surface of the pavilion appears to change as visitors approach, with the light rods clustering when they sense movement nearby.

Khan's pavilion opens to the public on Feb. 9, coinciding with the Opening Ceremony of the Games. Expect to see it all over Instagram.
