Illumininated cubes, visuals, electronic Beats: Three components of which the new open air club Kubik consists. Already from a distance the bright installation can be seen, located near the east station. It is based on the concept „Big tank“ for which dozens of conventional 1000 litre water tanks have been arranged to a temporary installation.

Besides the spatial element the concept from modulorbeat provides the tanks in each case with a illuminant. In addition, the water tanks shine thereby for the visitors of the club, but also fulfill a other purpose: Different VJs will program the tanks visually on the weekends at the beginning of dawn.

The lamps in the tanks are individually controllable and can be served thereby like an oversize video wall. Kubik is organized of Balestra Berlin, which invite DJs from all over Europe in order to supplement the visual plays of the BigTanks by electronic Beats.
