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-30: Meanwhile, in Sydney

A few days ago, the great developer/artist/genius Matt Ebb sent me this image via Twitter, which made me very happy:

He was at a bookstore in Sydney and saw the book Secrets of Digital Animation, which have an interview with me along with some stills of the short I'm (still) producing.I don't have my copy yet, but it should arrive soon.

About my short: it is taking (way too) long to complete. It won't be an epic. It is taking so long basically because I'm producing it in my spare time, and spare time is something I really need (I'm working in three jobs lately). I'm also planning to change lots of things, based on everything I've learned since I've started it. Among those changes I plan to use the new version of my rig Otto. This short will act as a testing environment for it (bug testing, features, etc) :)

Back to the picture: thanks, Matt! :)
