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.

2009-Dec-11: Kung Fu Bunny

Nope. That's not a Kung Fu Panda and Big Buck Bunny mashup.

I found it pretty cool the way the director, Vincent, mixed pixilation and traditional animation. I also think the rithm and composition are great, although the characters lacked a bit of appeal, IMHO. If your Chinese skills are up to date go check their website. If you're only a padawan like me, you can ask Google for a little help.
