Vesak Rashmi Dhara, one of South Asia’s first immersive and interactive Vesak digital art experience, hosted at Pixel Bloom, Colombo Lotus Tower ends today.
This groundbreaking initiative, created by Bling Productions and Eyeon in collaboration with Colombo Lotus Tower (CLT), combines technology with tradition to create full-day digital Vesak celebrations.
More than a mere light show, the “Vesak Rashmi Dhara” is a transformative artistic experience that permits visitors to delve into the Buddha’s life and teachings via an immersive digital narrative. The show brings timeless Buddhist wisdom into a contemporary, interactive style by fusing light, colour, and emotion via the use of projection mapping and artistic expression.
This entirely indoor event provides a full-day experience, enabling visitors to explore and contemplate from morning to night, in contrast to conventional Vesak celebrations that only happen in the evening.
Marlon Jesudason and Obed Kushan, the creative heads behind Pixel Bloom from Bling Productions and Eyeon said, “Through this special combination of spirituality and digital art, we hope to help people in reestablishing their connection to peace, empathy, and awareness while distancing themselves from negative emotions such as rage, hatred, and jealousy. Vesak Rashmi Dhara is our method of using technology for inner transformation and innovation.”
After over a year of technical and artistic development, Pixel Bloom, which was conceived by Colombo Lotus Tower and realised by Bling Productions and Eyeon, was released. A varied, multidisciplinary group of Sri Lankan creatives, including musicians, engineers, designers, and artists, is driving this project. Motion sensors and automation provide real-time interaction, while Epson’s state-of-the-art laser projectors power lighting and projection mapping systems that guarantee a flawless visual experience.
The goal of Pixel Bloom was to push the digital expression in Sri Lanka. The space has already established itself by fusing technology and storytelling to support STEAM education and artistic innovation.
