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:

Blender at Uncyclopedia

I am still laughing! =)

Just read what Uncyclopedia has about Blender. For a guy who uses Blender daily, it's pretty damn funny!

I particularly liked this part:

In Latin America the first Blender church has been founded: they believe in the Blenderton that will blend everyone into a new being (named Suzanne), their holy book is the Orange book, written in Python; and repeat Blender's keyboard shortcuts mantra three times a day (in dutch) looking at Amsterdam. On thursdays, they gather to watch Elephant's Dream and discuss their true meaning.
