“The ancient battle cries emerged from the mist like a choir of the forgotten. these weren't just any spirits - they were the voices of sparta's fallen, their collective agony transformed into vapor and shadow. while painting, my brush kept moving in circular motions, as if guided by the centrifugal force of their eternal screams.
The clouds became their new bodies, formless yet more present than flesh ever was. each face captured that final moment of defiance, when death wasn't an end but a transformation into something vast and terrible. i wanted their howls to feel like they were rippling through time itself, reaching us from that narrow pass where glory and doom became one..”
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.
