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:

I've written a book about Rigging and Animation in Blender for Packt Publishing. You can get the files here.

Old Blog

Yes, I had a blog. Haven't updated it since 2011. Anyway, if you need something from there I have kept backwards compatibility and you can read it below.

2009-Jul-17: Honorary Degree for Ton Roosendaal

It is very cool to see people like Ton Roosendaal, chairman of Blender Foundation and Blender's main architect, receiving a proper recognition for his achievements and contributions.

Right below you can watch a short interview with him made right after he got his Honorary Doctorate Degree in Technology by Leeds Metropolitan University.

P.S.: next week I'll be probably away from blogging due to my participation in AnimaMundi São Paulo.
