Assembly Language – Jesse Colin Jackson's Marching Cubes
Jesse Colin Jackson, a Canadian artist and architect, developed Marching Cubes, a 3D-printed modular assembly system inspired by the 1987 computer graphics algorithm of the same name. His project translates the algorithm's voxel-based isosurface extraction into physical building blocks for constructing three-dimensional forms. Jackson has showcased the system through a participatory event at the University of California, Irvine, and a solo exhibition at Toronto’s Pari Nadimi Gallery.
- ▪Marching Cubes is a 3D-printed assembly system created by Canadian artist Jesse Colin Jackson.
- ▪The project draws inspiration from the Marching Cubes algorithm developed by William E. Lorensen and Harvey E. Cline in 1987 for medical imaging visualization.
- ▪The system was demonstrated at a public building event at UC Irvine and in a solo exhibition at Pari Nadimi Gallery in Toronto.
- ▪Jackson's work explores modular construction, influenced by his background in architecture and interest in pixel-based image construction.
