Repetition is a natural human phenomenon that happens throughout an economic, political, social and cultural spectrum and it is often used as a tool to process information and to make meaning over what we cannot understand, specifically after a traumatic response. The body reflects on this trauma through a complex and dynamic process whose knowledge is both embodied physically and virtually due to the current status of the body as a post- biological being. The work invites to critically explore these two topics as entangled to one another through the following question: how does the body operate and make meaning through repetition on the web?

It took form through a collaborative online pad where I invite participants to repeat “I am safe”, textually and orally (in whatever language they choose) and we formed a collective orchestra of repetition. We later journaled the process and collaborated with an Ai system to generate poetic texts of our process. The project was part of my residency at Fikra in Sharjah (UAE).
