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.

Hybrid Publishing

The merging of the analogue and digital worlds is becoming stronger and at the same time less and less visible. Books link to websites, articles quote books, exhibitions take place in the spaces between gallery and web. So it will also be the future task of communication designers to think between the media and to find new ways of communicating and publishing. In the interdisciplinary project Hybrid Publishing, we developed new formats in the winter semester 2022 / 23 that combine analogue and digital worlds into new hybrids. Where do digital media influence publishing? Is there such a thing as a finished product in the digital age? How can we push boundaries and experiment at the intersection between analogue and digital media? From printed animations that bring moving GIFs into the physical world, to digital exhibitions on the aesthetics of imperfection that can be printed out, to archives on the web and exchange platforms - we end up with 15 projects. Digital, printable, expandable, in motion, static. The publication presents the individual projects with short reflections on the topic of hybrid publishing and offers an introduction to the subject with a glossary and various references. publishing.systems
