On numerous sets with Edward Bond, Henry Bauchau, Cofion Alain Gomez, and Suzanne Lebeau, Valérie added the creation of collective MeTAmorphoZ’; digital writing with her conference-performance SPAM; a Constellations body of work including about 25 thematic creations, such as Les astronautes immobiles and APREM/Exploration(s), a testing device designed to bring together digital, performing, and visual artists, scientists, researchers, and theorists.
