Sculpture by Nigel Helyer, 2002
Winner - The Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award 2002
Meta-Diva is an environmentally sound sculpture consisting of a group of thirty solar-powered units. Each unit contains a miniature digital audio chip that emulates an element of the natural soundscape, such as a birdsong, insect song or frog voices. The audio chips are set with a digital timer so that each of the thirty units has a unique time signature. The combination of multiple sound sources, individual time signatures and the fluctuations of the solar powered supply give the soundscape an uncannily natural presence.
