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:

2008-Oct-31: Juan Pablo Zaramella's workshop - I'm in!!! :)
Juan Pablo Zaramellas workshop - Im in!!! :)

Yay!!! :)

I got selected (along with Suryara and Jovan) for the animation workshop that will be given by the very talented and award winning Argentinian animator Juan Pablo Zaramella, at  AnimaMundi Belo Horizonte! That guy makes some awesome things, and I think it would be a great opportunity to meet and learn from someone like him.

This special edition of AnimaMundi in Belo Horizonte will happen on the week before the Brazilian Blender Conference. So I already got my ticket to spend almost a week there and go to both events! :D
