“The neck became my canvas that night, a living memorial to those who speak through flame. watched as the shadows of the dead crept up from beneath pale skin, their messages manifesting in bursts of orange light against the twilight blue. they always leave their marks - these conversations with the departed are never without cost.
The inspiration arose from memories of throat-singing shamans in tuva, but reimagined through the lens of controlled immolation. there's something devastatingly intimate about the way fire marks its vessels, how it claims territory inch by inch until the messages are complete. this piece was about that moment of surrender, when the medium accepts that each word from beyond will scar..”
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.
