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-Apr-05: Funny things related to animation...

...that only teh internets can bring us:

A Goofy Movie, if directed by David Lynch:

The world famous Trololo, in the Woody Woodypecker version:

And in order to bring a bit of usefulness to this post: if you haven't watched Dreamworks' How To Train Your Dragon yet, please go. It's a really amazing movie. In my humble opinion, it holds the position of best movie made by the studio, together with Kung Fu Panda. Congrats to everyone who worked on it!
