Is dance a universal language? Rita Maria Muñoz is researching this question and invites you to a special performance experiment where you will be able to experience the movements, thoughts and silences of the performance. As a spectator you are welcomed and allowed a place to question and ponder what dance is, what it is to you, and if dance is a universal language.

Congratulations to Niilas who has been awarded the Spellemann for best electronica album of the year in 2020. The album “Also This Will Change” is Niilas’ debut album, which was released on his own label in November and since then has garnered tremendously many fantastic reviews.

We are reopening our studios and spaces for short term project residencies at BEK. If you are working on an art project involving sound, moving image or electronics you are welcome to apply for a residency in one of our studios for a period of 2-4 weeks. The residencies are open to professional artists and we prioritise projects that are experimental in their use of technology, or interrogate its relationship to art and society. We offer our facilities and equipment, and expect artists to work independently, however Studio Residents are also able to apply for advice sessions with our in-house experts to help with specific project needs.

Please join us for a presentation by Karen Werner, an artist currently doing a work residence at BEK from her own home. Set up outside of Skottegaten 20, this will be a live radio broadcast and street party!

In this second part of Vertkøykassen, we will look at several ways you can use face recognition. We will take one step further from the first part, where we learned to set up openFrameworks and the add-onxFaceTracker2 that does face recognition. It is recommended that you attend the first part or have experience with Xcode and programming.
