If you are working on an art project involving sound, moving image or electronics?
Apply for a studio residency at BEK lasting between 2–6 weeks.

As part of the seminar Ears to the Ground: Ecology, Environment and (Sonic) Media Technologies (beyond Eurocentric models) there will be an evening of performances at BEK. The seminar is curated by Budhaditya Chattopadhyay and is a collaboration between KMD, UiB and BEK.

You’re warmly invited to a night of sound and BBQ on Friday, June 20. This year, we have something extra special to celebrate: BEK is turning 25, and we’re marking the occasion with a festive anniversary celebration, live music featuring a line-up of our current residents at BEK.

Three-day workshop exploring spatial audio through both theory and practice led by composer Mariam Gviniashvili.

Join us for a workshop at BEK where we dive into an artistic approach to A.I. and neural audio synthesis applied to sound and music. The three-day workshop focuses on the workflow behind training generative AI models and developing an artistic practice using these tools, such as RAVE (Realtime Audio Variational autoEncoder) and open source multi-modal audio generative systems. This workshop offers participants the opportunity to understand and implement the pipeline of neural audio synthesis—from data collection and model training to artistic implementations for sound design and musical expression.

During the past week at BEK, Jenny Berger Myhre and Niklas Adam began their first collaborative project.
