VEKTOR is a non-profit arts organisation based in Athens, Greece, founded in 2020 by Katerina Gkoutziouli and Voltnoi Brege. VEKTOR operates as a platform for local and international artists, curators and researchers exploring phenomena of the digital condition. VEKTOR curates, organises and produces exhibitions, research projects, publications and events with a focus on digital culture, visual arts, media arts and music. Its mission is to foster a deeper understanding of how technology is reshaping both artistic expression and our social and natural ecosystems. VEKTOR works to build networks with local and international artists and cultural organisations to reinforce the discussion about technology, innovation and the arts and their future development. With no permanent space and a roaming personality, it is dedicated to develop and promote critical and cultural discourse, showcase art forms that challenge our digital ecosystem and engage with diverse communities and audiences.

Katerina Gkoutziouli's research and curatorial practice centers on the digital condition, exploring issues related to Internet culture and network politics, cultural identity, automated systems, data-driven infrastructures, emerging AI technologies, and their impact on contemporary society. She is particularly interested in how technology shapes individual and collective narratives, while in recent years her research focus has been on how AI may influence more complex concepts such as justice, fairness, equality and ethics.

Recent projects include the radio conference Figure it Out: the art of living through system failures, the research publication on Art and Technology: the new generation of Greek artists, and the exhibitions Trials and Errors, Her Data and Imagine you wake up and there is no Internet.  Upcoming projects include a bilingual (en-gr) publication on Art and AI and a group exhibition exploring the entangled futures of technology, ecology and social transformation in the context of the current polycrisis.
