With the project VECTORS, La Contrada continues to support research and experimentation through the creation of experiences through spaces in which artists from various fields, scholars and citizens can put their skills into play, in order to give life to shared knowledge. The artist, as bearer of 'unstable equilibrium', will be the catalyst that inspires the active spectator to develop a new awareness of the remote and unexpected connections between different cultures and individuals, for the prefiguration of an "after", which we imagine with boundaries that are still unstable.

The research includes complexly intertwined ecological issues and bioart. The intervention is divided into two phases: one of biomonitoring, with direct and constant observation of flora and fauna, the other of visual, sound and plastic processing of the data. It is the struggle of invisible things inside the body which, once brought outside, acquires a sacred value. The universe becomes the clothing of the body and the body becomes the container of the soul.
