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 Genk Research Unit, in the 'Critical reflections of and through animation' cluster. 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.
