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:

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.

Madagascar: Escape to Africa - featurette

Whether you like DreamWorks' Madagascar (I do) or not, the talent of the artists on that studio is something undeniable.

Animation World Network brings us a featurette with behind the scenes of the upcoming release from Jeffrey Katzenberg's studio. There's an ad before the video, but I assure you it is worth  waiting for. :)

Man... aren't those digital paintings of African savannah gorgeous?
