Nigel Helyer is an Australian Sculptor and Sound-Artist who received a BA Hon’s in Sculpture from the Liverpool College of Art, UK in 1974, an MARCA in Environmental Media from The Royal College of Art, London, UK in 1979 and his Doctorate from the University of Technology, Sydney in 1997.
In the 1990s and early 2000s Helyer developed a 'pluri-discipline’ practice which involved an amalgamation of previously discreet conceptual and methodological practices. This saw him develop work which synthesised sculpture with architectural & environmental sites and combine performed soundscapes (textual, musical or electronic) with public radio broadcast and other new-media formats.
