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:

2008-Feb-11: Peanuts with Jazz
Peanuts with Jazz

It's tough job to find people who don't like Peanuts. Tomorrow (Feb, 12th) will be 8 years since Charles Schulz left us, and I found something that could be a cool thing for the date.

There is an online radio here in Brazil called Uol That Jazz, and this week there is a program about the songs created for the animated adaptations of Schulz' comic strips. All songs were composed by jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi and are a pleasure to listen.

For those who don't understand Portuguese, both the text on the link and what the guy says before the songs are basically the same thing: notes about the songs, the composer and musicians who made later homages. Not much different info than you can get on the above links. =)
