Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts

BEK has a reference library with literature, journals and catalogues that focus on contemporary art and music, particularly sound art and new media, as well as technical reference literature. As a BEK-user, you can take books out, otherwise the library is available for reference reading at BEK. We provide access to electronic literature and lynda.com, where there are a variety of relevant tutorials to immerse yourself in. Now we got some new titles to borrow.
