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. 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.

China

China; porcellain.
China; country in asia.
Things mean the world.
Made in china is cheap.

A book about porcellain and the value of objects in times of made in china. It’s a critical reflection on how people put value upon things – or not and how mass production influences our perception of objects. To reflect this the book shows very cheap, daily objects that seem like they are made of porcellain, but in reality are worth not even 2 dollars. The objects are presented and photographed in a way, that makes them seem more valuable. To strengthen that effect the book is completely printed with white color on black paper.

Book, 190 x 280mm
printed white on black paper with Indigo
