O nosso artigo discute uma peça de realidade virtual projetada para a Quest 2, Memory Eternal: Book of Mourning, que esteve em exibição no ELO Media Arts Festival. O nosso trabalho, batizado com o nome da oração ortodoxa ucraniana pelos mortos, mergulha os espectadores num espaço de lembrança. A peça reflete sobre o luto a dois níveis — pessoal e coletivo — abordando temas como guerra, pandemia e família. O artigo e o trabalho submetido estão alinhados com os temas da ELO 2023, tendo em conta o papel da literatura na mudança social e perguntando, na esteira de crises globais sobrepostas, o que queremos lembrar e como? Fazemos uma breve tour pelo projeto com a sua paisagem onírica de ruínas medievais povoadas por dez peças distintas de literatura eletrónica que meditam sobre o luto, a dor e o despertar para novos futuros. Discutiremos os métodos colaborativos que utilizamos para criar este trabalho, o qual é fundamentado na ética do cuidado e explicaremos como eles se tornam parte do sentido mais amplo deste trabalho. Finalmente, baseamo-nos em estudos de memória para averiguar de que forma os temas de Memory Eternal servem como uma resposta à crise, uma salvaguarda face à perda e uma promessa de manter a memória viva.
