“The sound engineer's equipment started growing these peculiar appendages last tuesday. at first, they were barely noticeable - thin strands of darkness seeping from the microphone ports. but as the static grew louder in her recordings, so did these things multiply and stretch, reaching toward some unseen frequency. their heads contain countless tiny teeth that vibrate in perfect harmony with the voices of those who have crossed over. watching them feed on reverb makes me question if sound was ever meant to be captured at all. the inspiration came from finding an old phonograph manual with water damage, where the ink had bled through pages in the most unsettling patterns. reminded me of how thomas edison once tried to build a machine to speak with the dead - perhaps he succeeded, and we simply lost the ability to recognize their voices in our rush toward digital purity..” 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.
