“There was something deliciously ironic about painting this scene. the way knowledge devours us while we devour it, an endless cycle of consumption. i remembered the ancient libraries of alexandria, how they must have felt in their final moments - not the flames, but the weight of all that wisdom pressing down, waiting to be lost.
The blue beast emerged from my brush like a thought that refuses to be unthought. it hovers there, patient and hungry, while below a figure remains absorbed in their reading. i wanted to capture that moment when you realize your pursuit of knowledge has summoned something vast and terrible, but you keep reading anyway. because what else is there to do?.”
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.
