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.

2010-Apr-06: rm *

If you ever used Linux (or a Unix like OS), you probably know that the command rm * erases EVERYTHING. rm -Rf * is even worse. Now think of the damage it can cause in the folder of production files from a movie like... Toy Story 2!?!

This is one of the curious stories from Pixar, released as extras on the Blu-Ray editions of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. Some of these videos are online at slashfilm. Have fun! :)
