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:

2009-Jan-19: Planet 51

No post here since 2008... :)

Yeah... I've been pretty busy with lots of work and other things like moving to another apartment.

A cool thing that I saw is that finally the Spanish guys from Ilion released their trailer for Planet 51, which had Pepeland as one of the artists involved. It's been some years since I first saw about this movie, and it's good to know that it will finally come out this year.
