“There was something deeply unsettling about watching time crystallize. the bird - electric blue against the dying light - stood transfixed by a single snowflake that refused to fall. it wasn't the first moment i had preserved, but it was perhaps the most telling of my obsession. the way the crystalline structure hung there, defying gravity, defying nature itself, spoke volumes about my inability to let go.
The scene reminded me of rothko's later works, when his colors began to eat themselves. except here, the horizon line acted as a membrane between what was and what could never be. i chose this moment not for its beauty, but for its refusal to participate in the linear march of existence. the bird would never reach the snowflake, and the snowflake would never complete its journey to earth. they would remain forever in this liminal space, this purgatory of my making..”
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.
