Doctor by the Universitat de Barcelona with the thesis Arte y vida sistemas emergentes en las prácticas artísticas vinculadas a las tecnociencias 2009. Supervised by Dr. Miguel Morey Farré.

The R&D activities of researcher Pau Alsina Gonzalez focus on the study of the arts and of contemporary philosophical and techno-scientific thought, from both a historical and theoretical perspective and, in the case of the arts, a structural one, associated with the processes of reception, creation-production, exhibition, storage and conservation. His main research interests are linked with the so-called "new materialism" perspective (which is to be found in fields such as post-structuralist thought, media archaeology, object-oriented ontology and the actor-network theory), studies on art and media culture (the relationship between art, science and technology) and, specifically, with regard to historical, theoretical or empirical studies around the theories of body and space, as an important component of the programme that has been dubbed the "ontology of the present". He is a member of the UOC's DARTS (Design, Art, Technology and Society) R&D group.
