> the return of the think thing

- joins participants from a broad spectrum of various artistic and discourse fields.

- engages in music, literature, performance and electronic activities in a complex set of structures and layers for public address.

- has a very simple but basic conceptual main-outline for an open set that gives space to and access to irregularly joining artists.

- is concerned about returns of material used in earlier performances.

- is reworked on the occasional appearance and compiled on the fly to an interactive piece of time and space set.

- is residing in a complex database for instant upload on location.

- provides the participants very powerful instruments with large sound possibilities, e.g. turntables. It thus gives the audience the strange feeling that anything could happen.

- performances recycle material of previous activities, thus classifying the return as a virtual domain, that started as a free improvisation in the first place.

- invites the audience to take a certain part and participate in the electronic environment, thus to enrich and widen the data base through its local use during a gig.
