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:

Old Blog

Yes, I had a blog. Haven't updated it since 2011. Anyway, if you need something from there I have kept backwards compatibility and you can read it below.

2009-Aug-22: The Pixar Story

The story told by Leslie Iwerks on her documentary is as inspiring as it gets.

Here in Brasil, there's no special DVD edition of Wall-E including it, like in the US.

If you didn't get the chance to watch it, there is some parts of it available on this link from Mac Magazine, which I got via Twitter by @tatasoka. Go watch it, because I have a feeling it wouldn't take much longer online.

It's really a very nice documentary.

I would suggest as well the book "To the Infinite and Beyond" for other inside stories and details. It's really inspiring.

And of course, once you get to know the story the "Pixar Short Films" DVD becomes specially attractive :)

Check it out ;)
