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-Nov-02: CarToons

It's great to see that Pixar is also producing animated shorts intended for TV. :)

Nobody can argue on their fantastic quality, and I believe that this effort can help raising the bar on the quality of some animated TV series. CarToons premiered on Disney Channel on USA a few days ago, and the three first episodes were directed by no less than John Lasseter and co-directed by the great Victor Navone and Rob Gibbs.

I saw this news at Victor Navone's website, and you can watch some sneak peeks here.
