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-Apr-07: Planet 51 sneak peek

A long time ago I heard about a very promising animated movie being produced by Ilion Animation Studios, located in Spain: Planet 51.

Since then, I've been looking for more info than that on their website, but I couldn't find any relevant thing on this production other than it heavily uses 3DSMax.

But now started to appear some cool info, and the production seems to be going very well. There were some videos on the production, but this on the link is the only which remains active as I write: the other I knew about was removed by the user on YouTube. ;(

It seems it will be a very good movie.
