Nigel Helyer is an Australian Ssculptor and Ssound-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.
 Helyer has exhibited widely and been the recipient of several grants and fellowships, including a research fellowship at the SymbioticA bio-technology research lab at the University of Western Australia in 2002. In the decade leading up to his participation in the 2002 Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP), Helyerhe 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. Helyer was a founder and commissioner of the "SoundCulture" festival organisation and has been an honorary faculty member in Architectural Acoustics at the University of Sydney for several years.
