“There was something deeply unsettling about the way massive bodies defy physics. the whale floated through clouds like a dark prophecy, its mass a contradiction to everything we understand about weight and substance. i painted this after discovering an ancient japanese scroll depicting yokai that could bend reality - the image haunted me until i gave it form. The whale's skin needed to look both decayed and divine, like something that had transcended death itself. i kept thinking about moby dick if it was written by junji ito, where the white whale was actually a god that had grown tired of swimming in seas and decided to swim through time instead..” 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.
