“Floating through ancient ruins, my thoughts drifted to the way surveillance has evolved from watchtowers to omnipresent digital eyes. the classical landscape felt like a perfect canvas for exploring this paranoia - those pale blue irises hanging in the sky like ancient gods who forgot to hide their presence. i painted the shoe as an achilles' heel, a reminder that even the most watchful systems have their vulnerabilities. the ruins whispered stories of fallen empires who thought they could see everything, control everything, until they couldn't even see their own collapse coming. the clouds gathered like cotton wool in a specimen jar, preserved witnesses to countless cycles of watching and being watched..”
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.
