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-Jul-08: Mood changing

Here is a very cool animation reference straight from the World Cup semi-finals:

Check out the commentator (the guy near the camera): his initial facial expression denotes a bit of disbelief (is Spain scoring a goal after a corner kick against the taller players of Germany?); then it goes to a apprehension one, where his torso and head remain completely still for a moment (it seems that Spain can actually score this goal); and ends with the celebration with the beautiful goal from Puyol. Very cool!

And congratulations for the teams of Spain and the Netherlands for advancing to the finals! :)

Hi, pablo. Did I write something wrong, or you're just amazed with that guy's reaction? :)
