Music media company Telekom Electric Beats celebrates its 20th anniversary by launching an experimental virtual reality music space called 'The Cube.' This digital exhibition comes as a result of the company's collaboration with WAF GMBH and brand publishing house Looping Group.
The purpose of 'The Cube' is to allow fans of Telekom to virtually explore the company's rich history of music journalism, fashion collaborations, and event-based content. In a sense, it functions as an interactive archive in which users can learn about the brand in non-linear ways. When accessing 'The Cube' users can expect an entirely bespoke experience.
"We hope it's a way to get closer to topics that are often physical and haptic in nature — club culture, fashion, music production — make them literally touchable," said the Telekom team.
