This speech was a performance for the Brain Club Xmas special 2007. This video has nothing to do with any religious or political thoughts. But it is concerned with scientific and philosophical questions such as the mind-brain problem. I'm interested in the relationship between consciousness and the brain. Please see "The Qualia Manifesto" by Ken Mogi at http://www.qualia-manifesto.co m/manifesto.html (English ver.) or http://www.qualia-manifesto.co m/manifesto.j.html (Japanese ver.). And also please check the original election broadcast by Koichi Toyama (in Japanese). http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v= l2C9lv5t0yQ

This is my first performance.
The idea of this performance came from the experience in a house created by a great artist of lights, James Turrell.
There is a dark bath in that house.
There's no light in that bath except the light fiber implanted in the bathtub.
The fiber made only my body parts in water luminous.
I couldn't see anything but the parts.
Like a firefly, it might be beautiful for an observer (if s/he was there).
But "I" was very scared.

If we do not have any means to confirm our own (physical/mental) form,
and have to put ourselves in public...

It was the moment at which I decided to be free from self protection.
