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:

2007-Aug-14: The Happiness Factory

Folks at Psyop have just made it again! Their new Coca-Cola "Happiness Factory" animation is really superb and, in my opinion, is even better than the original.

Make sure you don't miss their documentary in the Aardman's Creature Comforts style, that's also amazing. I first saw about this documentary when reading André Forni's blog.
