Bright Side Studios is an artist-led immersive practice creating narrative, animation and light-based experiences that transform spaces through story.
-

Outdoor & Landscape Projection
Fantastical and evocative outdoor projection and light works created for forests, water, landscapes and public events.
-

Architectural & Interior Projection Mapping
Architectural and interior projection mapping that transforms buildings, landmarks and interiors into immersive, storytelling environments.
-

Holographic & Volumetric Projection
Holographic and volumetric projection using water, scrim, fog and translucent surfaces to create illusory images that appear to float in space.
-

Experiential Installations
Interactive and experiential installations designed for museums, galleries and cultural spaces, inviting audiences into moments of play, discovery and connection.
-

Narrative Animation & Immersive Moving Image
Story-driven animation and moving image created for light shows, exhibitions and cultural experiences; often drawing on archival research or character-led narrative worlds. (This can also support selected brand and campaign work.)
-

Immersive Environment & Exhibition Design
Immersive environment and exhibition design developed in collaboration with designers, architects and curators, drawing on Bright Side Studios’ 10 years of immersive storytelling and digital content creation.
Concept. Content. Creative Vision.
At the heart of our work is a story. We are artists who use light, animation and moving image to create immersive, emotional experiences. The technology supports this process; a tool that allows narrative, atmosphere and memory to take shape in physical space.
Working predominantly with projection, including waterscreen, holographic and projection mapping, and selectively with LED and screen-based formats, we have spent the past ten years bringing stories into cultural and public spaces across Scotland and the UK.
We are Cristina Spiteri & Susanna Murphy, the immersive artist duo behind Bright Side Studios
We are an artist-led creative practice based in Edinburgh. We conceive, direct and create projection-mapped installations, animated films and atmospheric experiences for cultural spaces, festivals, museums and public environments.
Our work spans heritage sites, museums, light shows, festivals and public art, and at times extends into selected brand and campaign projects. Across every context, we bring story, light and emotion into the spaces we create alongside our collaborators.
We can lead projects from concept to completion, or join a wider creative team to help shape and realise another creative director’s vision.
