Technology isn't about solely serving practical purposes anymore, but also aesthetically pleasing ones in order to enhance a person's life on a more emotional level; case in point, the HEXI Responsive Wall. It is an [interactive art piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-you-can-feel) of sorts that responds to the movement of a person near it. Whether that means that the HEXI Responsive Wall creates mesmerizing ripples as a person walks past or more abstract movements, it is hard not to find the appeal in such a design.

Created by Thibaut Sld., a graphic designer hailing from Canada, the HEXI Responsive Wall is one of many "self-initiated projects where
[geometry, light, mechanisms and interaction collide](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mathematically-shaped)," as written on his website. It is comprised of [60 moving modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi), which are made out of vacuum casted machined aluminium and PVC.
