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-Jun-06: Richard Williams DVD Masterclass

I have a new object of desire: the Richard Williams DVD masterclasses recorded at Blue Sky Studios.

Below, the trailer! Wow!

UPDATE:

At the time I wrote this there wasn't anything on Richard's website, but as Joel noticed in the comments section now there are some very cool videos that makes me even more willing to buy this 16 DVD box set. =)
