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 Inter-Actions Research Unit. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation.

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:

2008-Jan-16: When Mucha gets animated

Character designer Harald Siepermann, who has a curriculum with movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Mulan, Tarzan and Emperor's New Groove wrote about where he found inspiration for his beautiful work on Enchanted:

No less than Alphonse Mucha. =)

I remember my college classes on Art Nouveau when everyone was shocked with so outstanding artwork, even more when we realized that those beautiful pictures were made with lithography!!

Talk about influences...
