Events
Ausvest is re-imagining our business offering to create world-first digital events and immersive experiences.
Aligning ourselves with key industry leaders, our aim is to become an instrumental player in the emerging market for digital immersive experiences.
Wisdom & Light
The Wisdom & Light Immersive Experience is a never-before-seen experience running for four weeks from 1 September - 2 October 2022. The exhibition traces the extraordinary journey and mission of Venerable Master Hsing Yun, founder of Fo Guang Shan, one of the world’s largest Buddhist organisations. Created by world-leading digital artists, Artists in Motion, it fuses art, light, and sound with digital technology to immerse viewers in a floor-to-ceiling, multi-sensory experience. Adjacent to the immersive space was also a gallery with rare and authentic pieces of Venerable Master’s ‘One-Stroke Calligraphy’ displayed.

Animated Bodhi Tree
The Bodhi Tree is a vital part in the Buddha’s Day and in 2022, this 5-storey high Bodhi Tree mural is introduced in the heart of Melbourne CBD. Each Festival evening the Bodhi Tree will come alive with digital animations, providing the illusion of the tree experiencing a range of weather elements, symbolically representing the hardships and challenges the Prince experienced while in his meditative state to reach Enlightenment and become Buddha.
Virtual Wishing Tree
The Virtual Wishing Tree enables Festival patrons and people from all over the world to contribute messages of hope which will appear as leaves budding and growing on the Wishing Tree, able to be viewed by a global audience, made possible by the skillful digital artistry.
Light It Up Melbourne
The Light It Up experience was held in the heart of Melbourne’s Chinatown alongside Rising Festival in June 2021 to help draw crowds back into Melbourne’s CBD in between COVID-19 lockdowns.
Buddha’s Day & Multicultural Festival
One of Melbourne’s longest-standing multicultural events, the Buddha’s Day & Multicultural Festival by the Buddha’s Light International Association of Victoria (BLIAV) not only commemorates the birth of Buddha but also celebrates Melbourne’s diverse communities annually.
