In the Studio and Lab, as in the ocean and space beyond, DEPTH matters
In the Studio and Lab, as in the ocean and space beyond, DEPTH matters. Pell's talk will use the arc of a dive to describe strategies for working at depth, lessons learned for performing with positive pressure, exploring limits, rapture, calculating bottom times, safety stops and ascent lines, surfacing and sharing in the responsibilities of the blue economy and deep ecology that nourishes us.
About the speaker
Award-winning artist Dr. Sarah Jane Pell is an experienced Occupational Diver, aquatic performer and versatile art and science collaborator.
She is leading first generation artist-astronaut crews of the commercial spaceflight era. Her practice aptly begins underwater by connecting with deep ecologies to embody, and critique, the culture of exploration. Artefacts include sculptural, technical, poetic events and immersive media connecting bodies of water to bodies of knowledge and movement.
She was awarded Best PhD Art & Science by Leonardo AS, MIT 2007 and TED Fellow 2010 for pioneering Aquabatics. Dr. Pell is an experienced Simulation Astronaut for undersea trials, an Artist-Astronaut Candidate for a suborbital aeronomy mission, and an imagineer for a MoonVillage.
She continues to perform expressively and tests novel tools to make art in the field. Her work promotes physical conditioning, creative visualisation and new communication.
