Hannes Bajohr, (b. 1984 in Berlin) studied Philosophy, German Literature and Modern History at Berlin’s Humboldt University. He gained his PhD from Columbia University, New York, with a thesis on Hans Blumenberg’s Theory of Language. Bajohr writes prose, essays and digital poetry. His literary publications have mainly included experiments with digital poetry and conceptual writing. In 2015 his novel Durchschnitt (Mean) was published, for which, as the publisher’s announcement describes, the body of text of all the books in ‘The Canon. German Literature. Novels’, edited in twenty volumes by Marcel Reich-Ranicki for Insel Verlag in 2002, was used, their mean sentence length determined using Python, all sentences with different lengths discarded and the result then sorted alphabetically. Together with Gregor Weichbrodt he runs 0x0a, a text collective for digital conceptual literature. Since 2017 he has been a research fellow in the Centre for Literature and Culture Research, Berlin.
