by Eric Schmid

Book published by Editions Cox

Description
Editions cox is excited to announce a publication of the collected writings of artist, musician, philosopher, and mathematician Eric Schmid! The writings run the gamut of Schmid’s many fields of interest and expertise. They range in form from an artist’s press release to philosophical essays to notes on mathematics, from collaborative works of cultural criticism to foundational works on the philosophies of math and language. Although the different works are dedicated to particular subject matters, there is inevitable movement back and forth, forging unique and diverse connections between the various fields. Schmid’s collected writings will be available to order within the next couple of weeks!

Slices of Life by Mattin & Asha Sheshadri

Published by Edition Eric Schmid and Mille Plateaux

Slices of Life

During the 22nd of February 2022, two years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we took audio snippets from our everyday lives documenting our homes and surrounding urban environments, our intellectual interests and our musical tastes. We also gathered pictures with our phones. Some of the audio sources were processed, some were not. Here you get slices of our lives from two different cities, New York and Berlin – a glimpse of the fragmentation of our times through a broken sonic diary entry.
