His most recent works include The Many Faces of Fernando Pessoa, Wayúu pattern-inspired animation triptych —O|, abstract split-screen film All Rot, and the Hattlerizer 2.0 live performance. Max has taught, exhibited and performed around the world. He lives in Hong Kong where he is a visiting assistant professor at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong.
