Literary Nonfiction. Art. Introduced by Matthew Scott. DIAGRAMS is a book that collects 49 diagram drawings made between 2009 and 2014, and includes a conversation-based essay between the artists and the Canadian math scholar, Matthew Scott. These diagrams are an attempt at using the objective visual language of mathematical diagraming to illustrate some of the most important concepts we use to underpin our subjective understanding of the world. In what seems like a hopeless task, the central concern is not how these must inevitably fail to communicate in a truly objective way, but how they might actually succeed.
