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:

I've written a book about Rigging and Animation in Blender for Packt Publishing. You can get the files here.
Yes, I had a blog. Haven't updated it since 2011. Anyway, if you need something from there I have kept backwards compatibility and you can read it below.
Last night Big Buck Bunny had its premiere. I wish I could be there. You can watch on the video below and see how cool it was. I found it very interesting to see the lecture from Jon Phillips, representing Creative Commons. It showed clearly what it means and how it conciliate with commercial interests. For those who didn't buy the DVD, the movie and production files will be soon online.
