What are Vector Graphics?
Vector graphics are a purely virtual form of drawing. It is mathematically based.
There are many file types that support vector graphics.
The most common file type is the SVG (scalable vector graphic). All the digitally based production technology in the FabLab, like the Laser Cutter, C-N-C router, and 3D printers utilize the SVG file type.

Abstract Art
Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect. from the Tate
Wassily Kandinsky, untitled (study for Composition VII, Première abstraction), watercolor, 1913

The pictorial language of geometric abstraction, based on the use of
simple geometric forms placed in nonillusionistic space and combined into nonobjective compositions, evolved as the logical conclusion of the
Cubist destruction and reformulation of the established conventions of
form and space. Initiated by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in 1907–8, from The Met
