The intricate and colorful drawings of Ivan Moscovich have been featured at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, the Museum of Mathematics in New York City and prestigious galleries around the world. Now, for the first time, a limited selection of his life’s work is available to a global, online audience. Each image below is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork.

The images on these cards were created through collaboration of man and machine. Ivan Moscovich patented his Harmonograph device in 1967 and soon after his revolutionary approach to drawing was featured in an exhibition titled Cybernetic Serendipity at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.

A ground-breaking visual artist, inventor and author, Moscovich’s work attracted the attention of creative luminaries such as M.C. Escher and Frank Oppenheimer.

Cybernetic playing cards are a curated exhibition of 54 unique Harmongrams printed on the face of each card.

Tempo Playing Cards are inspired by the golden age of jazz. In the 1920s and 30s a new style of music rapidly gained popularity in the United States and artists like Bessie Smith, Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday became household names.

Designed by Michael Mateyko, each card features an Art Deco style illustration that celebrates the spirit of improvisation and musical expression.

Printed by The United States Playing Card Company on our proprietary thin-stock, each deck of Tempo playing cards come packaged in a screen-printed, embossed and foil stamped tuck case.
