The Daedalus Project is an art exhibition for Fringe World Festival, which is currently running until the 17th of February in Perth. The exhibition showcases new and challenging work from eight Hellenic-Australian contemporary artists all working with a broad range of technology enabled mediums through performance, robotics, Aerogel sculptures, sound installation, video, photography and textiles.


Petros Vouris, curator and one of the artists that is taking part, told Maria Stella Papageorgiou the name of the project itself comes from the myth of the first Greek sculpture and inventor Daedalus. Daedalus, who is better known for his invention of mechanical wings and the plight of his son Icarus, is symbolic of the symbiotic nature of art and technology prevalent in the ethos of Greek myth and culture.
