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:

Yeah... I know I posted a video showing inside Pixar a while back. Sorry, but I just can't get enough of looking at that place.

One day I'll see that with my own eyes... :)

Oh, man... I hail you. ^_^ It's been a dream for me to be with Pixar, even just step on its floors. Wow. This will indeed inspire me to do better and reach at that point. ^_^
