Based on the conception of the scientific text as a laboratory for the fabrication of worlds, this article examines experimentation with a writeWITH methodology involving collectives which wrote three texts on violence and public safety as a cartography of worlds that have become visible and consistent through the writings, and questioning those still invisible. The common thread of these three texts brings out the tensions and clashes that weave through the world of violence and public safety in which visibilities and invisibilities, light and shadow, justifications and questionings, overseers and the overseen are fabricated daily. Upon the fabric of this world emerges the contemporary debate on surveillance technology and the complexity involving public security policies associated with the protection of citizens. We posit that the writeWITH methodology boosts the carry of multiple voices that characterize the world of life, many of them silenced in our daily lives, making them audible once  again.
