Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts

Welcome to BEK on Friday 21 August. Join us for an evening on our rooftop terrace and in our premises at C. Sundts gate 55, where artists, collaborators, neighbours and curious visitors come together for conversations, music and an introduction to our autumn programme.

BEK invites artists, musicians and researchers for a gathering, exploring listening as a way of relating to environments, communities, and more-than-human worlds. The gathering is developed and conveyed by sound artist pantea, with contributions from Carolyn Rosten, Mehdi Torkaman, Amber Ablett, Associació So, Radio alHara – راديو الحارة, and Jiennagoahti.

Join for an open and informal TouchDesigner roundtable in Bergen with Martha Steinmetz.

BEK is proud to announce the recipients of the 2026 MA Graduate Studio Residency Award. Through a collaboration between BEK and the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design (KMD) at the University of Bergen (UiB), we offer studio residencies to recent graduates from the Art Academy.

This compendium of Pilot Studies gathers sixteen written contributions from the partner organisations of Re-Imagine Europe: New Perspectives for Action as a reflection on the four-year project. The studies take many forms – essays, interviews, survey outcomes and glossaries – reflecting the range of working methods and experiments across the consortium. Together, they serve as a collection of models, guides, or tools for current and future generations of cultural institutions and collectives, artists and other contributors. They are grouped thematically into five clusters.

This text emerges from BEKs symposium The Only Lasting Truth is Change: Voice, Seed, Brutality (21–23 November 2025, Bergen), and reflects the collaborative project Gneiss by Touki and Rehana Zaman. Developed as part of an ongoing film project commissioned by BEK, the work brings together sound, moving image, and discussion in response to the question: What is change?
