Her current research is oriented towards experimental media, focusing on spatial aspects of the experience of a work of art,
with a special focus on the two immersive techniques: ambisonics and stereoscopy.

both visual and sonic, in order to design a game of illusions,
to create a continuum between the synthetic and live sources,
and to challenge the borders of perceptual limitations.
