The Hexacon is a video and interactive sound-sculpture installation by Canadian artists Eryn Foster & Ray Fenwick. The piece consists of a video, “Your Eternal Nature Has the Infinite Potential for Ever-growing and Unspeakable Joy”, and a constructed hexagonal shaped pyramid we call “The Hexacon”.

The original Hexacon was constructed from pegboard, and has a capsule-like door for entry. Inside of this pyramid shaped room there is enough space for one person to sit comfortably. With purple and blue hued lights filtering in softly through the peg-board holes, the Hexacon becomes an interior space perfect for quiet and relaxation. For those who enter into the Hexacon, they are invited to listen, with headphones, to an audio piece titled: “Getting Into The Hexacon: A Guided Meditation.” In this audio recording, we each deliver monologues that explain the concept of The Hexacon and also introduce Foster & Fenwick’s theory of “personal gravity”.
