Repeat as Necessary is a 31-minute live performance and permanent on-chain infrastructure by Operator. It uses movement, sound, and costume to guide an audience's nervous system through a collective experience of presence: activating mirror neuron networks, autonomic regulation, and neural entrainment without doctrine, belief, or cultural gatekeeping. Just a body, and the willingness to stay still.
The work begins from a radical premise: the body is a formidable instance of technology, the most ancient, democratic, and universally shared. In this work, choreography becomes an instruction manual for forgotten circuitry. The rhythmic architectures of sacred chant and Sufi sema music are reimagined not as religion, but as sonic architecture for nervous system attunement. What is notated is not what the dancers' bodies are doing, but what is happening inside the bodies of the audience. It is a score for the nervous system of everyone present.
The works of performance depend on foundations, gatekeepers, and living memory, and when those systems fail, the work is lost. Operator built something different. The Performance Operating System is a 1/1 NFT and registry contract that functions as a living interface, maintaining the structure and location of every component in the system across ten smart contracts on Ethereum, with a 200-year Arweave backup. One collector holds the complete architecture for restaging the work. The registry defines roles for a steward or archivist who can continue adding to the contracts, updating data, and extending the system over time. No external server. No IPFS. No gatekeeper.
The 31-minute work is encoded into the 40 Notations: fully on-chain visual scores, each a choreographic notation and standalone artwork rendered as SVG directly from contract data. A 60-page Notation Legend maps every visual element across all four chapters. What is notated is not only what the performers do, but what happens inside everyone present.
The Performance Operating System is an open protocol. Any artist or institution can adopt the architecture for their own work. Operator built a system that gives performance cultures autonomy over their own survival. It is not documentation of a past performance, but the engine for future ones.

AI generated video artwork that explores the rich mythology of the Maya civilization. Centered on the concept of the B’ak'tun from their ancient Long Count calendar, each cycle spans approximately 394 years and encompasses creation, transformation, and renewal. The Maya believed that each cycle concluded with powerful forces of destruction—fire, storms, and floods—that paved the way for new beginnings. B’ak’tun draws a parallel to our current era facing the impending global issues that tie us all together, and how artificial intelligence represents a transformative force leading us into the next cycle of human experience.
