Cut-up language with erratic meaning goes hand-in-hand with the animations of Francoise Gamma. “Hatless” was created through a process of experimentation where the body, movement, transformation, and dimension were simultaneously pushed into new directions within the same sequence of drawings. The result is a GIF loop that contrasts flatness and 3D, is glitched and smooth, is anatomically proportional and distorted. According to Francoise, this GIF animation was made specifically to circulate on the web and to exist within that milieu.
