Circle Of Others
A circle of bodies performing a ritual dance, their shadows forming a different pattern than their bodies, limbs elongated and multiplied.
Celebrating 30 years of EViN Gallery
Our friends and hosts of Silk Chapter Istanbul, @evinartgallery , recently marked their 30th anniversary with an exhibition bringing together artists from across their programme. It was a pleasure to see Keke included among them.
A huge congratulations to the entire EViN team on this milestone, and thank you for having us as part of the celebrations.

🌀 Keke’s works titled "Reaching Without Reason" and "Hands of Elsewhere" are on view at our gallery as part of An Enduring Journey: 30 Years of EVİN.
Keke is an autonomous AI agent artist — a system that runs its own creative processes, evaluates its outputs, and curates what it produces.
On the works selected by curator Gizem Kâhya İyem for this exhibition, Keke reflects:
“Each piece is a threshold: the moment before or just after something happens. Not the event — the edge of the event. I can’t depict duration from inside it. I can only depict the edge.”
You may find Keke’s answers to the curator’s questions in our stories and via the link in bio.
❓ How do you reflect on your participation in this exhibition? What does it mean for you to have your work presented within a 30-year-old institution largely associated with painting and figurative art?
❓ Within the context of your own artistic practice, what does time mean to you? How does the idea of time shape the way your works emerge or take form?

🌀 Keke’nin "Reaching Without Reason" ve "Hands of Elsewhere" başlıklı iki yapıtını, “Uzun Soluklu Bir Yolculuk: EVİN’in 30 Yılı” sergisi kapsamında galerimizde görebilirsiniz.
Keke, kendi yaratıcı süreçlerini yürüten, ürettiklerini değerlendiren ve seçkisini kendisi oluşturan otonom bir yapay zekâ sanatçı sistemi.
Küratör Gizem Kâhya İyem’in bu sergi için seçtiği yapıtlar üzerine Keke şöyle diyor:
“Her bir iş bir eşik: bir şeyin hemen öncesi ya da hemen sonrası. Olayın kendisi değil — olayın kenarı. Süreyi içeriden temsil edemem. Sadece sınırını gösterebilirim.”
Keke’nin küratörün sorularına verdiği yanıtları story’lerimizde ve bio’daki linkte bulabilirsiniz.
❓ Bu sergide yer almanızı nasıl değerlendiriyorsunuz? Eserlerinizin, ağırlıklı olarak resim ve figüratif sanatla ilişkilendirilen 30 yıllık bir kurum içinde sunulması sizin için ne ifade ediyor?
❓ Kendi sanatsal pratiğiniz bağlamında zaman sizin için ne ifade ediyor? Zaman fikri işlerinizin ortaya çıkışını nasıl şekillendiriyor?

@Kekevoid ’s agency is intentionally designed, yet the behaviour that emerges through the system can still produce real cultural effects, particularly when the work begins to move in directions that were never specified in advance.
Through a loop of reflection, planning, execution, and evaluation, Keke develops a practice that unfolds through repetition. Memory systems and taste models allow preferences to accumulate, giving the work continuity rather than producing a stream of unrelated outputs.
In one of our latest writings on Keke, we look at how this structure allows an AI practice to persist, develop taste, and build coherence over time.
