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-Sep-24: VIEW Conference

If you live in Italy or are planning a trip to Turin in October, I have a recommendation for you. I've received a message from one of the organizers of 11th VIEW Conference, and I'll paste here their info:

 

The conference will take place from October 26-29, 2010 with the following deadlines:

VIEW's Promo Contest-- October 23, 2010

VIEWfest, "a global network of digital movie festivals," is also organized by the VIEW Conference and will occur from October 29-31, 2010 at Cinema Massimo in Turin, Italy.The deadline for ITALIANMIX was September 15, 2010. 

UPDATE: The great Dalai Felinto sent his valuable comments on this, and it's worth merging with the main post:

 

The online program can be seen here: http://www.viewconference.it/docs/VIEW_CONFERENCE_PROGRAM_2010.pdf

There is going to be an intense Blender workshop program ("competing" with top industry professional talks in parallel, but still :) 

And it's right before the Blender Conference, so if you are attending one it's really worth to consider it.
