“There was something peculiarly intimate about painting an eye that stares back with such intensity. it reminded me of that time i found an ancient medical illustration from the 1800s, where the anatomist had drawn the patient's eye with an almost obsessive detail - as if trying to capture the last glimpse of consciousness before it faded. the void at the center pulled everything into its orbit, like a black hole made of flesh and fear. i wanted the iris to feel like a solar eclipse made of skin tones, where the darkness at the center wasn't just an absence of light, but a presence of something unknowable..” 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.
