In February 2015, Sarah Meyohas launched a social token, Bitchcoin, a cryptocurrency which could be exchanged in perpetuity for her work. Meyohas backed each original Bitchcoin with a five-inch by five-inch portion of her Speculations photographs.
These works, created through the manipulation of physical reflective surfaces in a traditional photographic studio set-up, portrayed perspectival tunnels extending into infinity. Functioning as a visual and poetic interpretation of the blockchain technology itself, they held up a mirror to the alchemical ways in which value is created by the artistic gesture and embodied in art as a financial asset.
