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.
Sometime ago I saw this great post by T. Benjamin Larsen. Its purpose is to show how fundamental is to choose the right visuals for your narrative. On that post, you can see how NOT to do it. =) Even the inspired speech by John F. Kennedy can be ruined by a bad (a.k.a. MS Powerpoint) visual narrative. His blog has some other cool things, like this post that questions some "super" things ;)

Always thrilled to find people linking to my stuff and even more so when it's someone I have so much respect for. It made my day. :)
