Nature: Metaphysics + Metaphor (N:M+M): Exploring Persistence, Feedback, and Visualisation in Mixed Reality Performance Arts.

Nature: Metaphysics + Metaphor (N:M+M) is an art experience and exhibition that explores the intersection of Nature, Art, Man, and Technology.This immersive experience aims to bridge physical and digital, tangible and intangible, and ephemeral and persistent in mixed reality arts through new interaction and visualization methods.The performance was presented in front of an audience of 50 people, during which the artists constructed a physical-digital artwork that became part of a subsequent exhibition.This paper describes the rationale, creative approach, and technical contribution behind this work while reflecting on audience feedback and future directions.
