“The eye emerged from my recurring dreams about ancient cosmic entities that lurk between dimensions. those spindly legs, like obsidian needles, reminded me of the way shadow puppets would crawl across my bedroom wall as a child. i painted this after discovering an old brutalist fortress in eastern europe, its concrete walls reaching up like a prayer to something vast and unknowable. the fortress became my anchor, but the eye... the eye was something else entirely. it wasn't watching the fortress - it was watching us watching it, creating an infinite loop of observation. the bloodshot sclera was inspired by those sleepless nights when reality starts to bend at the edges, when the walls breathe and the darkness has weight..” 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.
