Description:

This exceptional set of six collectible phone cards highlights the pioneering digital artistry of Rodney Chang, an American computer artist associated with groups such as the Pygoya International Art Group and the Hawaii Computer Art Society. Each card prominently features one of Chang’s vibrant, dynamic abstract computer-generated artworks, characterized by intricate layers, swirling colors, and textured effects that evoke a sense of depth and motion. Produced under the AmeriVox brand and stamped with a 5-minute call allowance, these cards serve as functional memorabilia for collectors fascinated by the intersection of technology and art in the 1990s.

As a complete set, the cards reflect a strong artistic vision rooted in abstraction and digital manipulation. The first card captures attention with its vivid palette of reds, oranges, and greens, resembling an otherworldly landscape with rippling, cascading forms reminiscent of a surreal digital terrain. The second card adopts a darker, more subdued color scheme, dominated by shadowy whites, blacks, and browns, with abstract strokes that create a smoky, mysterious atmosphere. The third card introduces a burst of fiery reds combined with cooler tones, presenting a chaotic yet harmonious blend of shapes and energetic, brushstroke-like effects.

Expanding on Chang’s artistic range, the fourth card employs bright neon blues, greens, yellows, and reds set against a deep black background, creating a dramatic, almost cosmic illusion—perhaps symbolizing the vastness of the digital universe. The fifth card features a captivating circular swirl motif, where colors like green and red spiral inward, drawing viewers into the eye of a digital storm or vortex. The final card returns to earth tones, with a striking interplay of golden ochres and dark blues that appear to ripple or fold like layered fabric or geological formations under shifting light.

While each card is in poor condition—reflecting their age and use as functional calling cards—this wear adds to their nostalgic charm as artifacts from the early days of computer art. Notably, every card is hand-signed by Rodney Chang, emphasizing their authenticity and collectible value within a limited edition of 100 copies. These cards, part of the American Phoneart Hawaii initiative, represent a fascinating fusion of telecommunications technology, collectible culture, and digital fine art—highlighting Rodney Chang’s innovative contributions to the creative possibilities of computer-generated artwork during a time when digital expression was still emerging.
