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:

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-Dec-11: Kung Fu Bunny

Nope. That's not a Kung Fu Panda and Big Buck Bunny mashup.

I found it pretty cool the way the director, Vincent, mixed pixilation and traditional animation. I also think the rithm and composition are great, although the characters lacked a bit of appeal, IMHO. If your Chinese skills are up to date go check their website. If you're only a padawan like me, you can ask Google for a little help.
