By Spencer Chang

The Fortune Webstone is a ceramic fortune cookie with a message from 800 unique fortunes waiting for you on each tap with a phone. Introduce some whimsy into your everyday routine by hosting it next to your door or carrying it with you as a good luck charm. No setup required so your friends can freely experience your stone as well. Each webstone is handmade with love and care in Spencer's pottery studio in San Francisco, so each has a unique shape and color. Due to the unpredictable nature of ceramic glazes, each Fortune Webstone is completely unique.

Spencer Chang is an artist, engineer, and toy maker interested in the play, creation, and care that emerges from our relationships with and through technology. Their practice leverage whimsical intimacy to reconstruct technology from a tool of institutional oppression into a medium for communal flourishing. By focusing on infrastructure, they aim to create systems that invite people to actively reinvent them and equip us with the means to do so. Always attempting to connect art to everyday life, their work sits at the tension between art and design, emotion and function, and individual actualization and communal agency.
