FUTURE RELIC 09 presents an archetypal keyboard that Arsham casts from a mixture of plaster and glass particles. Arsham’s petrified objects serve as anthropological relics, in this case a mimic of a vintage Casio Casiotone MT-500 keyboard. He imagines these objects buried for years, later discovered in an archeological dig, but regardless of specific time lapse, a Future Relic signifies obsolete technology – a signal of human progress or an entropic future.
