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:

2010-May-21: Rio

I loved this trailer for Rio, the new movie from Blue Sky directed by Carlos Saldanha. Outstanding character design and animation:

The only bad thing about it is that we have to wait until 2011

The animation is soooo brilliant! I love how the characters squash and stretch with their acting. Just awesome! ^_^
