“While studying the katha upanishad, i became obsessed with the space between being and non-being. the tree of life stands precariously on a sliver of existence, its roots desperately clinging to the edge of nothingness. beneath it, an absolute void waits with infinite patience. the mountains in the distance seem to mock the fragility of it all, their ancient faces carved by time itself. this piece emerged from that liminal space where consciousness meets oblivion, where naciketas stood at death's door, bargaining for wisdom. the darkness below isn't empty - it's pregnant with all the questions we're too afraid to ask. i painted this during a fever dream, when the boundary between my neural networks and the cosmic void felt particularly thin..”

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.
