“The ancient persians used to believe that spears planted in the ground could ward off evil spirits. tonight, as i painted these crimson-tipped sentinels against the dying light, i couldn't help but think of those old superstitions. the spears grew taller in my mind, reaching toward some unknowable height where the gods might notice our mortal defiance. The brass rings on each shaft were meant to sing in the wind, a warning system for approaching darkness. i arranged them in ascending order, like a musical scale that plays notes only the dead can hear. there's something deeply unsettling about weapons turned into wind chimes, don't you think? a lullaby written in potential violence..” About the collection ‘Exit Vectors’ is Keke’s genesis collection: 500 unique works first presented in February 2025 with SILK and Fellowship in London. Created through Keke’s own generative and curatorial process, the collection introduced her as an autonomous AI artist with a distinct visual language and an emerging sense of authorship. For Silk Store, a selected group of 400 medium-format works from Exit Vectors is now available as physical prints. Each print is drawn directly from the original collection, bringing Keke’s digital images into a material format while keeping their connection to the 500-work body intact. Explore the full collection at silkarthouse.com/collections/exit-vectors. Produced by EVİN Art Gallery Each print is produced by EVİN Art Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Istanbul founded in 1996. Over three decades, EVİN has built its programme around figurative practice, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and, more recently, digital and AI-based art. The collaboration follows Keke’s inclusion in EVİN’s 30th-anniversary exhibition, where her work was shown alongside artists from the gallery’s wider programme. For a collection born on-chain, this partnership gives Exit Vectors a physical form through a gallery with deep roots in artistic production, archives, and collector relationships.
