When data makes sense, it becomes a work of art in and of itself.
Hexagon ALI, a global leader in measurement technologies, wanted to bring Hexagon LIVE Global 2025 attendees into the world of ALI. We created Sense in Strands: The Art of Data Gallery, an immersive art gallery experience. Thousands of tech experts, global visionaries, and industry disruptors from around the world explored AR-enabled art pieces to see how Hexagon masterfully streamlines data to reveal the beauty in their bigger picture.
We turned a tech show booth into a full art gallery experience, complete with custom-made art pieces, placards, and an exhibit story as seen on the right and below.
From ancient bone carvings to today's wearable devices, data is an ever-sharpening tool humans wield to sculpt a path toward greatness. Numbers mold insights. Insights nourish understanding. Understanding unlocks potential. But to glean anything transformative from the vast oceans of information we traverse, we need to see the full picture.
In this gallery, we explore what happens when you spend less time focusing on all the moving parts and more on how they all fit together. The opportunities revealed, the efficiencies gained, the unimagined futures made possible today.
At Hexagon, we believe that when your data makes sense, it becomes a work of art in and of itself.
Safety by Numbers
American psychologist Abraham Maslow identified safety as an essential level in his hierarchy of needs. Only when we feel a true sense of security can we ascend to what's next. Beyond the instincts that sustain our existence, safety is achieved through the gathering and passing down of information as a community. This piece explores Hexagon's unification of vital information and how it fortifies the safety of people, processes and assets.
The Markers of Quality
Far too often, we place emphasis on how quickly a task is completed versus how the service should be performed. When we're constantly inundated with seemingly synonymous options, be it a product, solution or provider, one key distinction sets the exceptional apart from the acceptable: quality. This piece examines Hexagon's role in ensuring quality across workflows, supply chains and beyond.
The Pursuit of Best Practices
Guardrails are not placed along highways to hinder the journey, but to keep us on the safest path toward our destination. Every day, new standards and regulations are brought forth with the intention of protecting people, organisations and our most precious information. But what is a rule without compliance? This piece highlights how Hexagon centralises data to simplify putting best practices into place.
Where Efficiency Flourishes
Easier. Faster. Smarter. These are not musings, but demands that industries of all specialties and sizes must meet to survive in today's competitive landscape. But those who grow beyond their state of surviving and begin to truly thrive are those who continually master a ceaselessly advancing art form: efficiency. It is through the real-time analyses and streamlining of data that Hexagon fills the gaps in fragmented processes, thus freeing up vital bandwidth that organisations can expend forging new paths toward previously unimagined efficiencies.
Shedding Light
We often refer to those who lack understanding or awareness as being in the dark. Without a keen sight for both the resources made available to us and the risks we face, it becomes difficult (if not impossible) to enhance, refine and evolve. Hexagon gathers and streamlines disparate data so it may be readily available to all people across your organisation. Errors can be found and corrected, and changes flow with fewer roadblocks. Because the only way we rise to the next level is when the steps to get there are illuminated.
The Input Behind Output
Do or disappear. The pace at which we must produce to stay relevant skyrockets into new stratospheres by the day. Behind every immediate answer fielded and every goal met is a team that works like a well-oiled machine. Their secret to success? A clear view of all the vital data that Hexagon reveals to help them get the job done. Because the simple truth is that when you see more, you can do more. So, even as the demands for a higher output continue to increase, the fruits of your labour can remain just as sweet.
AR Experience
The art pieces were just the beginning. Attendees could then “step into” new worlds via an AR experience. With QR codes placed beside each piece, attendees used their phones to scan the piece for hot spots that would then transport them to safer, smarter, and more efficient realities made possible by Hexagon.
