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 Genk Research Unit, in the 'Critical reflections of and through animation' cluster. 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:

If we didn't have enough reasons to go to the theater watch Toy Story 3, Pixar always brings us an amazing short before the main movie. This time, the characters are animated in the traditional, 2D, way. Wanna know a bit more about it?
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
