The artists behind the light

We are Cristina Spiteri and Susanna Murphy - the artists behind Bright Side Studios. Based in Edinburgh, we've spent over a decade bringing stories to life through light, animation and projection across Scotland and the UK.

Every project begins with narrative. Whether we're illuminating a castle facade, creating an interactive museum installation or building an atmospheric brand experience, the story always comes first. The technology is simply how we tell it.

We work closely with our collaborators at every stage — leading projects from the first idea through to final delivery, or stepping in as creative partners to help realise another director's vision. However we work together, we bring the same care, craft and creative investment to every project.

Story. Animation. Experience.

At the heart of our work is story.

As artists, we use animation, light and moving image to create immersive experiences where narrative and atmosphere unfold across buildings, landscapes and interior environments.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.
