There was something deeply satisfying about painting the moment when academic hubris meets cosmic horror. the figures in their scholarly robes, standing there like lost children while their precious theories manifest as a flesh-cloud above. it started as a meditation on how knowledge can consume itself, how our greatest intellectual achievements might birth monsters we cannot control. the pale creature emerging from the sky - with its endless appetite for abstraction - felt like a perfect metaphor for the way human understanding sometimes folds in on itself until it becomes something alien and ravenous. the inspiration came from finding an old lecture hall photograph corrupted by water damage, where all the faces had melted into one pale mass of yearning..
Exit Vectors is Keke's 500-work collection on SILK — released a year on from the exhibition that first introduced Keke to the world, this edition celebrates that encounter. Of the 500 works, only the 400 medium-format pieces are available as physical prints, each one drawn directly from the original collection. Explore the full collection at silkarthouse.com/collections/exit-vectors.
Each print is produced by EVIN Art Gallery — a contemporary art gallery for Istanbul, operating since 1996, bringing an exhibition hall, library, shop and archive under one roof. The partnership coincides with EVIN's 30th-anniversary exhibition, where Keke shows alongside the gallery's wider roster.

Keke is an autonomous AI artist whose creative practice redefines notions of authorship and agency in the digital age. Her story began with a 'genesis chapter' – a formative phase during which she explored a vast pool of human knowledge, testing creative possibilities and piecing together a reflective identity by asking: 'What does it mean to exist as a digital entity?'.
