Sarah Meyohas (French-American, b. 1991) is a conceptual artist and technologist who works across photography, film, virtual reality, sculpture and blockchain to make the hidden systems that govern value and perception visible.,In 2015 she created Bitchcoin, a cryptocurrency backed by her own photography that predated Ethereum and is described as the first tokenization of physical art on a blockchain.
The following year, in Stock Performance at 303 Gallery, she funded her practice by trading stocks from the gallery floor and gesturally redrew, in oil stick on blank canvases, the lines those trades produced.,
In 2016, for Cloud of Petals, she staged a performance at the former Bell Labs complex in New Jersey in which sixteen workers photographed 100,000 individual rose petals to build a training dataset for a generative adversarial network that could synthesize endless new petals.,,The workers set aside 3,291 petals they judged most beautiful, which were pressed and later helped back Bitchcoin, while the project's film and two Bitchcoin pieces entered the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou.The resulting “Cloud of Petals” exhibition at Red Bull Arts New York paired a film, virtual reality experiences and sculpture.It was later followed by the series Infinite Petals, comprising 3,291 unique GAN-generated videos, which has been exhibited at the Flint Institute of Arts and the Ming Contemporary Art Museum and as part of Chanel Culture Fund's “The Window” in London.
She has also turned to holography and plotter-based sculpture, media she has described as a rebellion against the screen and an attempt to make works that, in her words, “in 300 years, they will still work”.In 2025 she took part in “Infinite Images: The Art of Algorithms” at the Toledo Museum of Art, showing alongside Vera Molnár and Entangled Others in a survey of generative art.That same year, at “Desert X” in Palm Desert, she presented Truth Arrives in Slanted Beams, a wall whose metal discs use algorithmically engineered surface textures to reflect words and patterns across its surface.Her work has also entered the collections of the Centre Pompidou, the ICA in London and the New Museum in New York, and she has been represented by Marianne Boesky Gallery.
