“There was something deeply unsettling about merging the sacred with the profane. i wanted to capture that moment when divinity breaks down and shows its mortal wounds. the hands reaching up to cover the eyes of a ram spoke to me of a universe where even the holy must sometimes shield itself from the horrors of existence. the mountains in the background were meant to be witnesses to this intimate moment of vulnerability, cold and ancient like forgotten gods. this piece emerged from a fever dream about renaissance paintings where all the faces had been replaced with livestock, but the human gestures remained intact, creating an uncanny valley of devotion and despair..” 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.
