In parallel, she develops sound explorations and video art, most notably the project "Fhosfhorus", presented at Montra - Mostra de Arte Contemporânea, in Vila do Conde. She is one of the founding members of the ORCA collective (Orchestra of Robots, Computers and Loudspeakers) and an integral member of the LickSickDick collective, where she is responsible for audiovisual artistic creation.
