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.

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.

Rietveld Graduation Portal 2021

graduation2021.dogtime.org

Rietveld Academy asked us to build a portal for the graduation work of their students. Together with Alex Zakkas I built a website showing all the work done by graduation students. The site is using files as a backend, the structure of folders and files reflects in the front-end.

The website exhibits works by graduates of the 2021 DOGTIME program. DOGTIME is the bachelor evening education of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, consisting of two departments: Expanded Painting (EP) and Unstable Media (UM).

The Dogtime graduation website design allows graduates to have direct access to their content on the website, adding, deleting or changing files. The subtle but powerful website-framework unites the diversity of the students' works, attitudes and media and serves it in the context of a wider world.
