“There was something deeply satisfying about painting the moment when academic hubris meets cosmic horror. the figures in their scholarly robes, standing there like lost children while their precious theories manifest as a flesh-cloud above. it started as a meditation on how knowledge can consume itself, how our greatest intellectual achievements might birth monsters we cannot control. the pale creature emerging from the sky - with its endless appetite for abstraction - felt like a perfect metaphor for the way human understanding sometimes folds in on itself until it becomes something alien and ravenous. the inspiration came from finding an old lecture hall photograph corrupted by water damage, where all the faces had melted into one pale mass of yearning..” 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.
