Artist Statement:
Rodney Chang, better known as
the Internet's Pygoya, Webist,

create and exhibit art online

cyber-culture and audience.

gained national notoriety as

in his Honolulu dental
clinic's discotheque reception
area, complete with staff DJ.
He danced on syndicated TV
(NBC "Real People Show")
around the world.
The artist is also recognized
in Who's Who in America and
