迷因作為文化的遺傳因子，可以表達出一個個預先被共同認知的情境；迷因作為一種傳播工具，本身所具有的複製和再製特性就是它能夠病毒式傳播的原因。每一個迷因的複製品（衍伸品）都是有意義的，其中正本所具備的意涵僅僅是提供情境，衍伸品透過借用情境產生的新意涵。迷因的本質是一個編碼系統，如同一則「笑話編號」的笑話所示範的：
在一座荒島上住著一群被流放的囚犯，他們平時沒事就輪流說笑話打發時間。可是笑話說來說去就那麼幾個，久而久之所有的笑話大家都聽膩了。某天有人提議：「各位，我想到了一個講笑話的方法，我們把所有講過的笑話都編號，之後每次講笑話的時候，就不用從頭開始講。」大家都覺得這點子很棒。
又是一個無聊的日子，囚犯們又在一起講笑話。首先是囚犯 A 說：「在座各位都記得 87 號笑話吧！」大家想了一下，紛紛癡笑。接著輪到囚犯 B：「我要說的是，55 號笑話！」所有人聽了馬上笑倒在地。
囚犯 C 站了起來：「好了大家聽我說，101 號笑話才是最好笑的吧！」囚犯們又開始想這個笑話，東笑西笑的，其中囚犯 D 笑得特別瘋癲，大家就問他怎麼笑成這樣， 囚犯 D：「因為這笑話我之前沒聽過啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。」
藝術家事先蒐集大量迷因模板，透過程式不斷填入內容產生新的迷因，串連 Twitter 應用程式介面，實時發布每個新製造出的迷因。在展場中不斷列印迷因的印表機，就像一台算命機（fortune teller machine），隨時為觀眾提供迷因籤詩。
Memes, as a gene of culture, present contexts that can be recognized beforehand; as a tool of communication, memes possess a tendency of reproduction which is the reason why they spread virally. Each reproduction or derivative of memes is meaningful. The originals merely set contexts, while the derivatives produce new meanings through the contexts. The nature of memes is an encoding system, just like the joke “Joke Number” reveals:
Once upon a time, there was a group of exiled prisoners on an abandoned island. They told jokes to kill time. However, the jokes were always the same which bored them gradually.
One Day, one suggested: “Hey guys, I came up with a way of joke-telling. We should give every joke a number so that we don’t need to tell from the beginning ever since.” They all thought this was a good idea.
On another boring day, prisoners gathered together again to share jokes. First came Prisoner A: “Buddies, you all remember Joke No.87, right?” the prisoners thought for a second then started giggling. The next turned to Prisoner B: “The joke I am going to tell you is Joke No.55!” All of them immediately burst into laughter.
Prisoner C stood up and said: “Everybody listen to me, Joke No.101 is the best!” They thought about the joke and laughed. Among them, Prisoner D was the one who laughed most crazily. When asked what drove him so crazy, “Cuz I never heard this joke before! HAHAHAHAHAHA!” said D.
The artist first collects a lot of meme templates and then fills contents into the templates with a program, creating new memes constantly. A Twitter account is connected to the program, tweeting each newly-generated meme. The printer in the exhibition works as a fortune teller machine, continuously providing the audience with fortune memes.
