Description:

This collectible phone card is a striking piece of artistic and technological history, featuring a dynamic computer-generated image titled "Pharaoh" by Rodney Chang, a renowned American computer artist. Measuring as a 5-minute phone card issued by AmeriVox, it embodies a fusion of digital art innovation and practical communication utility, representing a unique era when phone cards were both functional and collectible. The card prominently displays the AmeriVox logo at the top, alongside the “5 MIN” indication, signifying its telephonic value. The artwork, created by Rodney Chang and associated with the Pygoya International Art Group and the Hawaii Computer Art Society, is a vivid, abstract digital piece that draws viewers into its fluid, fiery palette of gold, orange, and deep blue hues. These swirling colors evoke a visual metaphor reminiscent of a Pharaoh’s regal presence, shrouded in mystery and grandeur.

Centered on the card is the digital art, occupying most of the front surface and framed to capture immediate attention. This piece is not a reproduction but a carefully crafted work of computer art, showcasing the sophisticated digital design techniques for which Rodney Chang was known. The abstract "Pharaoh" suggests motion and energy, with overlapping and interlacing shapes that hint at the fluidity and complexity of ancient Egyptian symbolism through a modern digital lens. The vivid contrast against the black background enhances its contemporary aesthetic while paying homage to traditional cultural motifs. This blend of old and new is a hallmark of Rodney Chang's style, merging cutting-edge computer graphics with references that evoke historical significance and artistic richness.

Beneath the artwork, the artist’s name, “RODNEY CHANG,” is printed in bold white uppercase letters, creating a sharp contrast against the black background for immediate recognition. Below his name, the designation “American Computer Artist” underscores both his nationality and his pioneering role in the emerging field of computer-generated art during a time when digital media was redefining artistic boundaries. The significance of this phone card is further emphasized by its exclusivity, marked as "Edition 100 - Hand Signed," highlighting its collectible nature. Limited editions like this were produced in small quantities and often hand-signed by the artist, making them prized possessions among enthusiasts of computer art, phone memorabilia, and telecommunications history. This particular edition exemplifies the convergence of artistic expression and emerging digital technology.
