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:

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.

2010-Apr-06: rm *

If you ever used Linux (or a Unix like OS), you probably know that the command rm * erases EVERYTHING. rm -Rf * is even worse. Now think of the damage it can cause in the folder of production files from a movie like... Toy Story 2!?!

This is one of the curious stories from Pixar, released as extras on the Blu-Ray editions of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. Some of these videos are online at slashfilm. Have fun! :)
