Design Dark Typo Adhesive
Dark Typo is a painting that represents Darth Vader's helmet, surrounded by black ink stains. The board plays on the popular stereotype of inkjets as finicky and prone to malfunction. By staging a number of stains, the painting suggests that even the Dark Lord of the Sith isn't immune to technology-related frustrations. Also, the table title refers to the common typing error, which can often lead to frustration and tantrums. The painting therefore presents the Dark Lord of the Sith in a humorous light, while emphasizing the often frustrating nature of technology.
