Infinite Petals is the most recent digital body of work by Sarah Meyohas, building on almost a decade of work with artificial intelligence and crypto assets. The artist has built upon her past work to train an AI model—referencing a dataset of 100,000 physical rose petals—in order to generate endless, new, and unique petals to be created as NFTs on the blockchain.

This series is a continued exploration of algorithmic beauty and the phenomenon of emergence within both natural and manmade systems. The physical petals are transformed into gridded arrangements of interpolating digital petals that behave according to algorithms of varied complexity—checkerboards, concentric squares, and John Conway’s Game of Life, as initial inspirations. Each of the GAN’s (Generative Adversarial Network) individual petals consists of 512 dimensions, producing an incomprehensible latent space mirroring the vastness of today’s machine intelligence and our digital world.

Documenting this performance on 16mm film, Cloud of Petals traces beauty and subjectivity within the systems of automation and artificial intelligence. The massive dataset compiled is also used to map out an AI algorithm that learns to generate endless, new, and unique petals through a series of virtual worlds. Through virtual reality experiences, this metaphorical network of endless petals falls like rain around the viewer, playing on the notions of augmented reality, data, and our valuations of beauty.

Infinite Petals is a series of 3,291 unique video artworks. Each piece is a dynamic video output that evolves over time through a series of sequences defined by a specific visual pattern, a carefully paired color combination, and a set duration. Additional defining traits include varying grid sizes and occasional glitch effects, all layered within a structured rarity system.

Exceptional Works:

• The Grail: This is a single, highly intricate and involved work, distinct from the main release. It is a 13-minute video that can be displayed on screens up to 16 feet. This artwork will be sold directly to a collector or institution.

• 100 special artworks, limited to the 20x20 grid size, will give the owner access to a unique printed reproduction of a gradient between four petals in the model’s latent space (available at cost).

Sarah Meyohas is a conceptual artist and technologist whose practice provides an intelligible visual language to articulate the systems and complex operations that increasingly govern our world. Her work has been collected and exhibited at major institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the ICA in London, and the New Museum in New York.

She is represented by Marianne Boesky Gallery as well as the United Talent Agency for her work in film. Meyohas creates artworks that engage philosophically and technically with emerging technologies ahead of widespread adoption. In 2015, she created Bitchcoin, a cryptocurrency backed by her physical artwork, which predated the launch of Ethereum and is the first tokenization of physical art on a blockchain.

Similarly, her project Stock Performance (2016) emphasized the individual’s gesture on a market akin to more recent meme-stock trends. Her 2017 project Cloud of Petals involved training a Generative Adversarial Network on a dataset of 100,000 physical rose petals to generate endless, new, and unique petals, both in video installations and virtual reality experiences.

Her recent work explores holography and plotters to create pieces that delve into the mechanics of perception and texture. Meyohas's practice embodies the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk—a German term meaning a "total work of art"—seamlessly integrating art, technology, and finance.
