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:

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.

2008-Jul-07: Some site changes

This weekend I took the time to make some changes on this site.

- But where are they? Everything looks the same!

Yeah... I know... actually if everything looks the same then it is ok. The changes I made were under the hood: a big upgrade on my hosting server.

As most of you may have noticed, I've been facing some downtimes here very often. With my new hosting plan I believe those are finally over. =)

This new plan gives me a 20 TeraByte monthly bandwidth limit (w00t). I had to invest some on it, but I really think it worth the money. When I finally finish and release my short I will be a lot less worried with stability and bandwith limits.

Oh... and now this site answers not only by virgiliovasconcelos.com, but also with .net and .com.br extensions. The "blog.virgiliovasconcelos.xxx" also seems to be working fine with all three domains.

=)

If you find any problems, please let me know, ok?

Apesar de aumentar os custos sei que foi uma ótima decisão pois quando este curta for lançado o sucesso vai ser equiparado ao Big Buck Bunny!!!

Não espero menos do teu filme! A expectativa é igual quando eu esperava o Project Peach terminar...

Abraços
