VITAL

Art / Environment / Participation

VITAL developed an environmentally oriented artistic ecosystem that connected art, technology, and renewable energy in public space, raising awareness of global warming and air pollution. In Strasbourg, four artworks by international artists were presented, actively involving residents through the use of plants, environmental data, and participatory approaches. The project fostered public engagement and established a European network for the production and promotion of environmentally responsible artistic practices.
