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:

2009-Jun-16: Milt Kahl: The Animation Michelangelo

Saw that a few days ago at Cartoon Brew, but only today I managed to finish watching all videos.

The event was a tribute to the master Milt Kahl and was held last April, but now we can delight ourselves with some cool video excerpts of that talk. If you like to listen to guys like Brad Bird or Richard Williams, I believe you'd have to go to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences page now.

It's nice to watch or even to remember how cool that event was, if you happen to be one of those lucky people who attended that tribute and now is reading my humble blog. ;D
