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:

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.

2007-Nov-10: Commentary!
Commentary!

If you are like me, who buys every DVD of animation around and watch all the making-ofs to learn from the big guys, pay attention on what Andy Dolphin said on his blog.

I never paid the appropriate attention to watching the movies with running commentaries. After reading his article I've changed my mind. =)

And I'm still waiting my Ratatouille DVD I ordered a loooong time ago. =/
