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.

Remix: to make something new out of existing parts. In the 21. century we are all surrounded by digital devices. With this exhibition my college Dominik Meixner and I created an interactive installation to celebrate the analog device in times of micro-controllers and smartphones. The aura of the analog gives a very unique flair to the installation. We use the idea of sampling, so we took existing music and recorded it on tape loops we built. The visitor could change tapes and play and stop music, vary volume or speed. So the visitors could create hundreds of new compositions.
