Matthew Day Jackson — Dymaxion Map Monument
Matthew Day Jackson

Dymaxion Map Monument

Matthew Day Jackson's *Dymaxion Map Monument* draws on Buckminster Fuller's iconic unfolded icosahedral projection of the Earth, reimagining the world map as a sculptural or monumental form. The work reflects Jackson's ongoing interest in utopian thinking, exploration, and the systems humanity uses to understand and navigate the world. By elevating the Dymaxion map to the status of a monument, Jackson questions how we memorialize knowledge, progress, and our collective relationship to the planet.
