18 posts held, back to 26 July 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 26 July 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
10 reactions across 7 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 80.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 7 of the 18 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 10reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 18 most recent posts we hold, published 26 July 2023 to 26 July 2023, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
The steady flow of scientific discoveries and inventions that have changed the world and how we see it, from photography and electricity to flight and nuclear fission, correlates with radical artistic developments. Pointillism reminds us that as we change, so must our art...

And so Georges Seurat's ostensibly charming painting of a Sunday afternoon in Paris is rather darker and more engaging than one might suspect. This is the vision of a previously stable world fracturing before our very eyes, as new knowledge threatens to tear it all apart.

Jackson Pollock's Abstract Expressionism, which appeared during the Cold War and under the threat of nuclear annihilation, might just be the logical conclusion of Pointillism. We have gone so far down the scientific rabbit hole that our world has become incomprehensibly complex.
👍1
So perhaps Pointillism is, ultimately, a reflection of how science forced us to quite literally see the world in a different way. Seurat, deeply affected by new theories regarding colour and light, could simply no longer see — or paint — the world as he and others once had.
👍1
In the 1800s everything from atoms to radio waves were discovered. People had to realise that the world was not what they had previously believed, and that it was built from and controlled by invisible forces and objects. Pointillism tries to deal with these strange new truths.

An early indicator of the impact of science on art comes from the English prophet, poet, and artist William Blake. In this picture he was criticising Isaac Newton; Blake thought his optical theories were depriving the world of the possibility of mystical, non-scientific vision.

The Romantics resisted the Enlightenment and the rise of Science, Reason, and Industry — they painted humans insignificant in comparison with the inconquerable might and inscrutable mystery of nature. But, by the close the 19th century, resistance had become futile...

But we shouldn't be surprised, for Pointillism as an art style was directly based on the pioneering work of scientists and mathematicians, much of which challenged long-held beliefs about the nature of light and colour. Pointillism was an attempt to be scientifically truthful.
And yet, in some strange way, Pointillism seems to anticipate the major scientific discoveries of the 20th century — the atomic bomb most of all, perhaps — and its associated consequences. This is not just a gimmick; it is a different way of understanding the world altogether.
So... was Pointillism a gimmick? Perhaps it was just an artistic experiment inspired by new scientific ideas with no real meaning. As one critic said of Seurat: "Strip his figures of the coloured fleas that cover them; underneath there is nothing, no thought, no soul, nothing."
Is that a fair comment? The leading Impressionists, including Monet and Renoir, condemned Pointillism. To the Impressionists it may have seemed like a mockery of their work, turning what was human and emotional into something cold and systematic.
But this wasn't just for effect. Seurat, Signac and co believed this to be a more scientifically accurate representation of reality — at least, according to the latest theories. But it remained a controversial, largely unpopular style.
Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @culturaltutor. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 917,341 of 1,478,351entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 11 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
