The cross-disciplinary team of 24 people, who collectively built the installation during the calendar years 2020 and 2021, includes artists, mathematicians and craftspeople who employed a wide variety of materials to illustrate, amuse and educate the public on the wonders, mystery and beauty of mathematics. Including the core team of 24, about 70 people contributed in some way to the realization of Mathemalchemy.
