Edinburgh Science Festival – Elemental

Immersive interactive storytelling experience


Edinburgh Science Festival commissioned us to create an immersive storytelling environment, inspired by the Elements, to run during the 2021 festival in the Scottish capital…

The Ancient Greeks saw the world comprised of four elements – Earth, Air, Fire and Water (with Aristotle throwing in a fifth, Aether, for good measure) that were thought to explain the nature and complexity of all matter and to be essential to life. Times have changed. We now have atomic theory, with atoms classified into more than a hundred chemical elements. Yet echoes of the old theory reverberate to this day and scientists admit we still don’t know everything; there is still some mystery in our world.

“Interact with the elements on this magical multisensory journey of discovery through an intriguing digital world in which magic meets alchemy and alchemy meets science.”Edinburgh Science Festival
