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 Inter-Actions Research Unit. 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:

2009-Jun-13: Today the entire world celebrates...

... the birthday of the best animator ever!

I'll give you some chances to guess who he is:

Milt Kahl? No.

Bill Tytla? Hummmmm... nope.

Ward Kimball? Nein...¬¬

Ken Harris? It's cold...

Virgil Ross? No, but the name is somehow close...

Glen Keane? Not even close.

OK... let's try some changes in the sentence to make the guessing easier:

Today the entire world a few people celebrate the birthday of the best a random animator ever.

Now I think it's easier to guess, huh?

Virgílio Vasconcelos? Yeahh!!! Right on spot!! In the first try! You're good at guessing the name of famous random animators, huh? :D

Poxa Virgilio, fiquei sabendo agora :( foi mal mesmo.
Mas se não for muito tarde, gostaria de parabeniza-lo não pelo aniversario, mas pela pessoa simples. O tanto que vc tem de humildade vc tem de talento. Te desejo sucesso na carreira pq só esta faltando esse reconhecimento.
Sou teu fã.
Abração
