About

I'm an Animation Professor at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk, Belgium. I teach at the Re:Anima Joint Master in Animation and I'm a senior researcher at the Genk Research Unit, in the 'Critical reflections of and through animation' cluster. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation. Previously, I was an Animation Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil. MFA and PhD by the Graduate Program in Arts at EBA/UFMG. I'm also a free software advocate, animator, rigger and I also like to code. You can see some of my works and know a bit more about me at:

2008-Feb-29: Blender at Uncyclopedia

I am still laughing! =)

Just read what Uncyclopedia has about Blender. For a guy who uses Blender daily, it's pretty damn funny!

I particularly liked this part:

In Latin America the first Blender church has been founded: they believe in the Blenderton that will blend everyone into a new being (named Suzanne), their holy book is the Orange book, written in Python; and repeat Blender's keyboard shortcuts mantra three times a day (in dutch) looking at Amsterdam. On thursdays, they gather to watch Elephant's Dream and discuss their true meaning.
