Us, We, Mäx (and the Name-Game) #2

I first worked with Mäx in Bremen this summer. For the speculative Mahagonny re-enactment. Mäx wrote a program, which calculated the amount to forget about Brecht. The program said: keep 27,4% of the original content, the costumes, etc. And it worked. Mäx wrote a tool (he might be the tool) for basically everything:
27,4% truth, 27,4% Bremen, 27,4% Us.
Mäx wrote: “Add 27,4% of Mozart to Brecht as the complementary factor.”
And: Read about 27,4% of an email––enough!––also works for time, alcohol, dating, and blood pressure.
There is some deeper knowledge to what Mäx does. We wanted Annabelle Hirsch and Mäx wrote: “Only if you get rid of Paul Feigelfeld.” We love what Paul is posting and Mäx does too, and Mäx assured us it would not be because of the Feigelfeld but because of the Paul. Not in the combination with Annabelle, not the following week. Got it?
We knew Finn Canonica wouldn’t post daily, post ever, and Daniel Binswanger. Mäx said: ‘Don’t care.’ He wanted Victoria Nelson, not because she is a great writer and thinker, he wanted her for the ‘Nelson’ (and because he loves the Blood Books).
We know Mäx through Holger Friese and Holger knows him through Joshi, and Joshi was one of the first hackers in the early 1990s. If you had caught Joshi’s virus on your MS-Dos PC, you had to type in “Happy Birthday Joshi” on January 5, every year, to get your computer going again. Mäx might be Joshi. Whenever we are late with paying his bills our own phone sends us like 15 text messages in a row saying: PAY MÄX NOW!!!!
Mäx probably still works on a Toshiba laptop as heavy as a full crate of beer. Mäx worked with Julian Assange in Berlin on Marutukku (He is one of the characters in Inside Wikileaks behind a laptop).
I personally never met Mäx. I was told he has the greatest collection of Japanese phone books in the world. And he has a cat called ‘Heinrich.’
Anyway, Mäx rules.

This is where Mäx lives:
