Description
Updated 21/01/2008 @ 23:05This particular shot was taken inside the foyer of Bradford's National Media Museum during a college trip down there in December 2008. There was an installation hanging from the ceiling that caught my eye and this is the resulting depiction of my initial impressions.
Title inspiration this time comes from the name of one of the two schools of thought within the Pythagorean sect, where they were known as the learners. The other school called themselves the Akousmatikoi, the listeners. Pythagoras, of course, was the ancient Greek philosopher partly responsible for the formation of the theorem that bears his name.
Comments are perpetually appreciated.

Fantastic composition! AlmostΒ an abstraction. So graphic and great delicate grey tones!

Ah yes, thank-you kindly. This image took a while to grow on me; I was actually going to submit it straight to my scraps at the time!

Taken the wrong way, that could be construed as an insult.
Nonetheless, I understand your sentiment. Thank-you kindly, I appreciate it.

Let's just say I knew you'd take it the way it was meant
(or rather hoped, given the fact that you are ..deeply and widly cultured) (:

Heh, thank-you kindly; it's appreciated. When I first took this it was almost resigned to the metaphorical cutting-room floor; I'm glad I wasn't so harsh with it now.

Yes we can be our own harshest critics. I also didn't hold much hopes for "Metallic Origami" that you featured for the DD, but I have been astounded at the feedback I have been getting on it. Looks like triangular shapes are very powerful compositional elements indeed!

arctoa In reply to dynax700si [2013-03-23 13:27:12 +0000 UTC]
Yes indeed, I agree with that statement. Triangles are certainly fascinating to me, I know that much!

Thank-you kindly, it's appreciated. I actually didn't think much of this one when I first took it; it almost never made it to dA. I changed my mind over time and that seems to have been a sound judgement as it's now, by far, my most popular and well-received piece on the site.
