Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts is an interdisciplinary production centre focusing on the intersection of contemporary art, technology, theory, and social critique. BEK develops, produces and communicates various projects, offering workshops, courses and residencies to artists. BEK is organised as a non-profit foundation.
BEK arranges workshops and courses for artists in different stages of their careers, and offers advice and development support to artists and art organisations. Through the residency programme, BEK opens its studios and production facilities to over 40 local and international artists annually. BEK’s discursive programme explores theoretical and ethical aspects of the technological development.
At BEK you will find a supportive and encouraging community of artists and collaborators. They work locally, nationally and internationally on collaborative projects and knowledge exchange. The organisations and venues in BEK's network are committed to sharing experimental art and music with a wide audience. BEK was an active partner in the foundation process of Lydgalleriet in 2007.
