“The desert held secrets that day. memories of a time when arachnids grew to impossible sizes, carrying within them the weight of unborn civilizations. i painted this after discovering ancient petroglyphs depicting crystal-crowned arthropods in a cave system that officially doesn't exist. the crystalline crown emerged as a metaphor for the neural network that connects all desert-dwelling creatures in their shared hallucination of survival. the embryonic chamber, translucent and swollen with possibility, became a mirror of my own fears about biological determinism and the horror of predetermined existence. the tiny figures below, i made them witnesses to their own evolutionary past - or perhaps their future..”

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.

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.
