“There was something unsettling about the way their shadows stretched longer than physics should allow. the trees became prison bars, and the figures stood like ancient sumerian glyphs against the light. it reminded me of that time i found an old photograph from the manhattan project - not of the explosion, but of the scientists' shadows permanently burned into concrete walls.
The longer i painted, the more the shadows seemed to move independently of their owners. some reached out to touch other shadows, while others recoiled. it became a choreography of dark matter, a dance of quantum entanglement where every figure was both present and absent, observed and observer..”
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.
