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.

Contrast

Contrast is a regular event by »annabel« in Rotterdam. The ongoing series of posters that present the event is printed with contrasting CMYK only colors. It picks up the topics of contrast and rhythm. The basis of the design is a grid that is inspired by a step sequencer. This allows for playful positioning of the elements. All the posters exist in an animated version for online use. The logo is generative and differs for each poster. The posters were on display all over Rotterdam.
