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.

2010-Jul-06: Lego World Cup

The World Cup is finished for us Brazilians (and Argentinian). My bet was a Brazil vs Argentina in the finals... Anyway, I had to talk about something related to animation and the World Cup here, right? :D

I just saw this, thanks to Suryara's tip: a recreation of the German goals in stop motion, using Lego and over the original narration, made by the German newspaper Bild.

I think its an amazing approach. Here in Brazil there are a couple of websites which don't have the rights for reproducing the World Cup images and decided to recreate them in 3D, but the lack of enough production time made them look less than interesting. This one by the German website is at least as interesting as the original goals. I had to watch them over and over to pay attention to all the funny details. Congrats to the people at Bild, who managed to turn an unfavorable condition into something memorable.
