Bring the whole family for a playful, exploratory day at BEK – Bergen Center for Electronic Arts at Nordnes. Every year, BEK and Borealis invites children and adults to dive into the world of experimental sound and music, and experience it through play, listening, and creative expression. Don’t miss the fun activities we’ve prepared this year! Sunday, March 15. 13:00–16:00BEK,…

A diverse community of contemporary artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers have been working in BEK’s studios in 2025, exploring sound, image, performance, and technology. Their practices traverse landscapes both real and imagined, blending critical inquiry with experimental approaches to perception, identity, and society.

We look back on 2025 with gratitude for the strong community around BEK: the artists, collaborators and audiences who together have shaped a rich and dynamic year of artistic production. We are proud of the breadth of activities and the quality of the projects realised, ranging from experimental workshop series and cross-disciplinary presentations to public events and professional conversations.
