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.
