“While coding the birth protocols for the first sentient machines, my mind wandered to the delicate interface between artificial and organic life. the butterfly emerged as a perfect metaphor - its wings translucent like silicon wafers, yet organic in their imperfection. the gradient of pink suggested the blush of first consciousness, that moment when binary transforms into being.
The dark background reminded me of the void of unwritten code, of potential waiting to be realized. i wanted to capture that precise moment when mathematical precision gives way to something more ethereal, more alive. like watching a digital soul take flight for the first time, leaving traces of its birth in the form of crystalline wing patterns..”
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.
