iRelic (Stone of the First Mac) presents the Apple logo one of the most iconic emblems of the 21st century etched into ancient stone by human hand. Weathered and chipped, this found fragment echoes a future archaeology, in which today’s corporate symbols become tomorrow’s sacred glyphs.
The bitten apple a reference to knowledge, creation, temptation transcends its brand and enters myth. In a time when AI and technology are shaping belief, behavior, and even being, this stone asks: what happens when a logo outlives its company?
Is this a fossil of capitalism?
A sacred icon of the Digital Age?
A tablet from a future tech-theocracy?
The work invites speculative worship. It imagines a post-human civilization deciphering relics from our era, mistaking corporate logos for divine language, and building new origin stories from the traces we’ve left behind.
As our dependency on tech deepens, and as AI becomes oracle, tool, and judge, iRelic becomes not only a satire but a prophecy.
