Utsikten Kunstsenter is located outside of urban areas on a mountainside with a view of the fjord. The name Utsikten is translated “the view.” Both artists and audiences have been attracted to the contrast and connections between electronic art and nature that takes place in a unique way in this dramatic natural setting where one feels the force of nature.
