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:

2010-May-21: Rio

I loved this trailer for Rio, the new movie from Blue Sky directed by Carlos Saldanha. Outstanding character design and animation:

The only bad thing about it is that we have to wait until 2011

The animation is soooo brilliant! I love how the characters squash and stretch with their acting. Just awesome! ^_^
