In this retelling of the Greek myth of Icarus and Daedalus, we initially aimed to create a purely audio experience. After we completed that, we decided that it would be fun to create a visual to go along with it. In an ideal setting, this would be projected into a corner at room scale. For this YORB experience, we believe that it would be best for the viewer to get up close to the screen and try to become immersed in it.
This project retells the story of Icarus and Dadaelous in a sci-fi fashion. The story and the main characters are brought to a parallel world, which has a metaphorical connection with the 2020 pendemic event.
In this project, we also present a fictional museum which contains scattered pieces of clues about Icarus and Dadaelous. The audience are museum visitors in the future who try to excavate the truth from the exhibits.
What would happen if you are in control of the storytelling process? What would happen if you are only given limited information? What would you do if you are in charge of somebody's life?
Judge wisely.
