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:

Old Blog

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.

Aardman - A Matter of Loaf and Death

Aardman (ah... Aardman...) made available some production images of their new Wallace & Gromit movie: A Matter of Loaf and Death.

Sometime ago I talked about the Wallace & Gromit website. It is really good and it's worth spending some time on the visit. =)

Still on Wallace & Gromit, Carlos Baena told about a great video (in three parts) on the production of Oscar winner The Wrong Trousers. In this video Nick Park fala talks about a lot of cool stuff, from his beginning in animation to his personal touches in the production.

The user who uploaded the video don't allow embedding it on external sites, so here comes the links:
