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:

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.

Chuck Amuck

Imagine this:

You decide to get in that second hand bookstore and, after looking around for some time, you find the book Chuck Amuck. Obviously you buy it.

Ok, you think, this is cool but does it worth a blog post?

Wait. I haven't finish it yet. =)

When you get home, you open the book and realize that it's signed by Chuck Jones himself!!!

How cool is that, huh? Does it really happen?

Well, apparently it happened with Mathieu Vierendeel.

Lucky guy.

But the question that remains is: who in the face of Earth sells this kind of thing?
