Bergvall has developed a number of installation and performance pieces in collaboration with visual and sound artists, and received the 1993 Live Art Award for her performance Strange Passage. Her recent work includes Éclat, a text installation for personal stereos, which was commissioned by the Institution of Rot in London and premiered in May 1996; it was subsequently remanipulated for publication by Sound and Language. Her current text project, Goan Atom, is an ongoing interdisciplinary series of events: Jets-Poupee, part one of the project, is published by Rempress. Ambient Fish, a \"nettext,\" was commissioned in 1999 as a sound text installation for the Root Festival at Hull Time Based Arts.
