記憶是把我們的心智生活連起來的膠，也是我們個人歷史的鷹架。我藉著再次描寫17年前的微生物筆記，重新探詢過往的書寫經驗。相對於情節式記憶，身體經驗由開始的陌生運作到仿同的書寫操作，快速的喚醒身體內屬於每個單一細胞感應下的直覺。這種直覺讓我進入到意識外的運作，是一種能不經由〝夢〞而進入的潛意識之法。

整個過程我身兼實驗的設計者、操作者與被實驗者，也是這個過程挑起了神經原突觸的行為記憶。實驗中原本計劃抄寫120頁，在每一頁的抄寫中，不經意的擷取一分鐘的影像實錄（錄影機掛在胸前，任其取景），但尚未進行到一半，情緒便整個的失控，重複的書寫它變成一種暴力，它強制的經由直覺進入了潛伏之流，也辯證了非智能所能映證的生物上的真實性（biological reality）。

Memory is the glue that holds our mental life together, and is the scaffolding of our personal histories. I have used this to re-relate my jottings about microbes from 17 years ago, and make new inquiries concerning experiences I wrote down in the past. In contrast with narrative memories, body experience begins with unfamiliarity and shifts to the imitative action of writing, rapidly awakens the intuition derived from the responses of every cell in the body. This kind of intuition lets me enter functioning apart from the subconscious. It is a way of entering the subconscious not involving "dreaming."

I simultaneously acted as experiment designer, operator, and experimental subject throughout the entire process. This process arouses the behavioral memories existing in nerve synapses. I originally planned to copy 120 pages in the experiment, and I incidentally recorded a minute's worth of images (the video camera was hung in front of me, letting me freely control it) as I copied each page. But I lost control of my mood before I had gotten halfway, and repeatedly writing it seemed to have become an act of violence. I forced its way from my intuition into my latent flow of consciousness, bearing witness to a biological reality beyond our mental powers of reflection.
