Cloud of Petals Interactive VR Experience #1
2017
A cascade of rose petals fills the virtual space of Cloud of Petals Interactive VR Experience #1, enveloping viewers in an immersive digital environment that blurs the boundary between the physical and the intangible. Created in 2017, this work by Sarah Meyohas emerges directly from her landmark performance "16,000 Petals," in which dozens of workers at the former AT&T Bell Labs stripped rose petals by hand while their movements were captured and translated into data. That data became the generative foundation for this virtual reality piece, transforming human labor and biological matter into an endless, ethereal digital bloom. The result is a work that operates simultaneously as spectacle and as meditation on value, the body, and the nature of information itself. Meyohas occupies a singular position at the intersection of technology, economics, and conceptual art, and this piece distills her practice into its most sensory and philosophical form. The VR file format carries its own significance, positioning the work as native to digital infrastructure rather than as a reproduction of something physical. Signed and accompanied by provenance from the artist, the work is available directly through Meyohas, lending it a directness of acquisition that suits its themes of systems, exchange, and control. For collectors engaged with the evolving canon of new media and digital art, this piece represents a rare opportunity to hold a genuinely immersive, historically grounded work from one of the field's most rigorously conceptual voices.
