J.-P. Caron is a philosopher and artist based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His doctoral research, developed at both the University of Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis and the University of São Paulo, proposed a critique of the aesthetic philosophy of John Cage in the context of contemporary ontology of art and philosophy of language. He is a lecturer in philosophy at the UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) and he militates in the Circle of Studies of the Idea and Ideology (CSII)- an international political collective dedicated to exhamining the viability of the “communist hypothesis” today. He´s been practicing noise and experimental music for more than 15 years and several of his records have been released, many through his own inprint, Seminal Records. Recently he’s been working on the problem of generic organisation as it appears in different fields, like art, science, and politics; and its relationship to scale-sensitivity.
