Darren Emerson. In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats _UK

The virtual reality experience In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats by Darren Emerson takes us on a first-person journey back in time to the epicentre of rave culture in the late 80s in the UK. From poster-strewn bedrooms to pirate radio stations, police headquarters to secret warehouses, you’ll step-into the shoes of the pioneers of this cultural movement as you go in search of the party.

The experience, consisting of an immersive exhibition and an explorable virtual world set in the key years of this social phenomenon, combines Acid House tracks with interactivity and multi-sensory simulation to make the user a direct witness to the stories of the promoters, police and rave-goers whose rivalries and relationships drove an unprecedented revolution in music and society.

A ticket back to 1989 to live the events that shaped a generation; to feel the anticipation, trepidation, excitement and euphoria of the explosion of the scene.
