Abstract
The Nature and Culture of Sound will present a series of environmental sound sculptures and installations that engage with concepts of place, identity and memory. The Artist will explore the concept of environmental audio-portraits which combine acoustic-ecology with environmental data-sonification and oral history techniques to create complex large-scale public artworks that fuse sculpture and sonics.
Biography
Dr. Nigel Helyer (aka DrSonique) is an internationally prominent sound-sculptor and contemporary polymath who’s interdisciplinary practice combines art and science to embrace our social, cultural and physical environments. He brings these concerns together in creative projects that prompt the community to engage with their cultural histories, identity and sense of place; inviting us to examine the abstract conditions of our world and our complex relationships to it.
