Resumen
During late 2019, early 2020, the author carried out field studies across the militarized zone and borders of Iraqi Kurdistan witnessing the trauma experienced by those who had direct contact with war, conflict, human trafficking, and human rights violations. This led to the creation of a digital multimedia archive; a collective memory which was photographed and filmed by Syrian refugees, in collaboration with the Kurdish authorities and the artist. These visual assets were later used for the creation of an immersive environment, a serious game which presents player with a therapeutical solution for post-traumatic stress disorder. This paper will discuss the field study, key artistic processes and collaborations which influenced the creation of the game environment.
