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-Jul-15: AnimaMundi

Great news for me today: I was selected to attend to the workshop "The creation of your film" by Mike Cachuela, at AnimaMundi in Sao Paulo!

He currently works for a tiny studio called LAIKA and, before that, he used to work at a place with a funny name: Pixar. There's a couple of movies he worked on, but I doubt anyone have ever heard about: Coraline, Ratatouille, The Incredibles and The Nightmare Before Christmas are among them... ;)

Yay!

I'm also looking forward to watching all those movies and attending to a talk called Papo Animado with some very cool guys, like Amid Amidi from Cartoon Brew.
