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-Nov-09: Real wacky races

Do you remember Wacky Races?

That isn't exactly breaking news, but it's so cool I couldn't resist talking about it here. At this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed they payed a homage to the famous Hanna-Barbera cartoon with a race with real life version of the cars and characters! :)

Be sure to check out the official video of it and these pictures.

Man, this is way too cool! Wish I saw them with my own eyes!

Thanks Guilherme for the tip.
