Abstract
The theoretical concept of CGI animation is greatly informed by technological developments which open up the possibility of generating an entirely new reality. Synthetic realism and hyperrealism usually draw attention to the mimetic abilities of computer generated images.
However, moments of lapsus show that a non-material digital surface can also become materialized. The digital surface thus goes beyond its mimetic attributes and exposes a layer of visual materia.
Lapsus is present. How can the digital surface be structured by the formless absence of creative deformation?
