I'm Alexander Roidl – designer, artist, and media researcher based in Mainz / Frankfurt am Main. I work on creative websites / unusual media / software art and visual design. Open for collaborations and commission: mail@alexroidl.de. Currently, working as a Tandem-Professor at Mainz University of Applied Sciences and NODE.

My research investigates the diverse implications of human-computer interaction with a focus on the creative use of software. My practice explores the intersection of programming, design, and software culture. I am regularly teaching workshops on creative coding, web technology and interaction design. I hold an MFA in Experimental Publishing from the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam and a BA in Media Design from Hof University of Applied Sciences in Germany. From 2019 to 2022 I worked as a lecturer and researcher at the design department of The Hague University of Applied Sciences.

About this page
This website is built upon a selfmade CMS that serves from folders and textfiles on this server with php. The Stream is connected to a Mediawiki as a backend. I use Angularjs to connect to the API and place the content.

Rotative Research Dialogues

rr dialogues is an interactive research project by Rotative Reseach that connects different approaches on one specific topic: the relationship between intention and result within the process of urban transformation that constantly reshapes our cities. The website features a rotative selector that shows articles that are connected in dialogues. The dialogues are shown in a split-screen view that allows for comparative / simultaneous reading.
Built with wordpress as a backend and D3js in the frontend.
