Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts

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.

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.

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

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.

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

At the Bergen Art Book Fair, BEK launched the new publication Al-Mashrou’ A Conversation Between Shuruq Harb and Samira Makki. Project developer Åse Løvgren presented the publication at the Bergen Art Book Bath at Nordnes Sjøbad.
