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. 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:

2008-Feb-11: Peanuts with Jazz
Peanuts with Jazz

It's tough job to find people who don't like Peanuts. Tomorrow (Feb, 12th) will be 8 years since Charles Schulz left us, and I found something that could be a cool thing for the date.

There is an online radio here in Brazil called Uol That Jazz, and this week there is a program about the songs created for the animated adaptations of Schulz' comic strips. All songs were composed by jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi and are a pleasure to listen.

For those who don't understand Portuguese, both the text on the link and what the guy says before the songs are basically the same thing: notes about the songs, the composer and musicians who made later homages. Not much different info than you can get on the above links. =)
