Sarah Meyohas

Sarah Meyohas (b. 1991, New York, USA) is a conceptual artist and pioneer in the field of crypto art. In 2015, Meyohas created “Bitchcoin”, a cryptocurrency backed by her physical artwork. Predating the launch of Ethereum, “Bitchcoin” is the first tokenisation of art on a blockchain, effectively a “proto-NFT.” Today, Meyohas continues to investigate emerging technologies with familiar emblems of biological life: soaring birds, created using augmented-reality software, flock in unison with the frenetic variations of the stock market; rose petals, aggregately identical but individually unique, comprise the dataset for their AI-created equivalents. Meyohas’s practice provides an intelligible visual language to articulate the systems and complex operations that increasingly govern our world.
