Carmen Pardo Salgado is associate of philosophy and PhD in philosophy from the UB. She has taught numerous courses and seminars at various national and international universities. She took charge of the translation and editing of John Cage's writings in Writings in the Ear (1995). She is the author of The oblique listening: an invitation to John Cage (2001) and Robert Wilson (2003, in collaboration with Miguel Morey). From 1996 to 1998 she lived as a postdoctoral researcher at the IRCAM-CNRS unit in Paris, where she continued her research on the links between contemporary music and technologies. At present her work on contemporary art and technologies finds its resonances in the analysis of the socio-political and economic systems that sustain them.
