Animation was born out of invention. Since its earliest forms animation evoked a sense of wonder and magic. It was made possible by technological progress during the 19th and early 20th century when illusionists became filmmakers. Technological developments still shape the art form and innovations continue to disrupt and change the ways in which a society functions and communicates in a profound way. 

Inspired Big Bang theme of the festival, forty students of the Willem de Kooning Academy, were asked to create a location-based animated experience in the public space, showing animation's hidden history. The results will be presented on our website under 'News' from the 2nd of April.

This program screened as part of Kaboom Animation Festival 2020-2021
