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:

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.
