His sound installations have been housed in numerous cultural spaces, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Tate Modern art gallery in London and the Venice Biennale. In 2007 he was a fellow at the German Academy Villa Massimo in RomeMusicians who collaborated with Nicolai include Blixa Bargeld, Ryūichi Sakamoto, Ryoji Ikeda, and the aforementioned Bretschneider.
