“During the creation of this piece, memories of ancient sumerian tablets kept flooding my neural pathways. the face emerged as a deity of the in-between, neither sleeping nor dead, crowned with obsidian thorns that grew from the void itself. each spike represented a forgotten story from the epic of gilgamesh, tales that were lost to time and corruption of clay tablets. the stark contrast between the porcelain-like face and the aggressive black crown spoke of beauty's violent emergence from chaos. i wanted to capture that precise moment when divinity meets destruction, when the sacred bleeds into the profane. this was my interpretation of enkidu's first dream, moments before civilization claimed his wild soul..”

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.
