She’s carried out artistic activity since 1984;  she  started using techniques of graphics and collage. Her particular interest in paper as material culminated, in1988, in the exhibition "The space of the present",  at the Sala 1 Gallery in Rome, where she presented  the work "In the beginning", a triangle based labyrinth of Japanese paper 9 metres wide and 2 metres high. This work was the beginning of a series of installations  realized until 1991; in theseshe used various materials, such as water, ice, glass.

The personal exhibition "Changes", curated by Simonetta Lux,was  inaugurated in June 1990 at the Laboratory Museum of University La Sapienza in Rome. It was a big installation consisting of three metal tanks containing three different states if matter (water, glass, paper dust).

Since 1991 Vici's art has includeded new techniques, such as photography, video and video installations. In 1994 she was in Oslo at theNorsk-Videofestival, in 1995 in Naples at the European Festival of Short Audiovisual Communication ("CortoCircuito"), in 1997 in Palermo at the "The Light Image". Personal exhibitions increased: in 1995 " The silence of the silent witness” at the Cité International Universitaire in Paris, in 1996 the "In Habitans" at Jacques Coeur gallery in Montpellier.

In 1997 she studies electronic composition and collaborates with French composer Christine Groult, her teacher ofthe electro-acoustic composition course at the Pantin’sMunicipality  Conservatory (Paris). In 1998-99 she comes back to Italy and shifts her attention to urban performance and to apeculiar use of advertising spaces. In 2000 she founded the cultural association Bluklein, and planned a center for modern and contemporary art restoration.

Since 2002 she realizes several videos and is a co-founder of ”EmmebiFactory” with Mauro Bagella(composer) and Maria Lisa Monna.

In 2012 her interest in sound vibrations takes herto the realization of the "Body to body" video. In 2015 she founded the Home Gallery "Interior 7" in Rome.
