At MUAC, the contemporary arts museum of the university UNAM, eighteen students are subscribed to follow the workshop Human Mathematics by Various Artists. It’s a mixture of visual arts, industrial design, visual communication, architecture, audio engineering and philosophy students.

an introduction of Various Artists: Paulo Sudo, currently representing VA, starts with the origin of VA and period before the Late Trudo Engels. VA is an autonomous work. Rather then becoming ‘a great artist’, VA decided to become various half great artists together forming an ultimate assembly.

Being Various Artists from 2010 until now: physical artists are invited to do a workshop and for a short period of time become one of the Various. Next to the Beings there are the Gesamtkunstwerke like Lettres d’Ixelles, Le Château, Faux Berger and Zea Mays.

Human Mathematics: VA explains the differences between arts based on mathematics, and statistics, and how human mathematics combines the best of both – abstract, unpredictable, poetic, and data driven. The students get a notion of what human maths stands for after getting a few examples of martaque’s work like “Fingerprints of God”, “Math pig”, “Endless Drawings”, and “Tour de France”. It is now up to the students to make their own human math piece.

At the end of the workshop, all participants share their work and used methods. The results are quite impressive for such a short amount of time. And the final comments of some students are very moving. They are very thankful that VA wanted to share this part of their work with them and will implement this technique, that is very liberating for them, in their future work.
