DR. SARAH JANE PELL

Contemporary artist, commercial diver, researcher, and explorer of new worlds.

Performing Astronautics



ART TRANSFORMS FUTURES

Award-winning artist Dr. Sarah Jane Pell is an experienced Occupational Diver,
aquatic performer and versitile 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. Artifacts 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.

In 2016, Dr. Pell was awarded Australia Council Fellow and Gifted Citizen
(Highly Commended). Her work is widely exhibited, performed and published. The
first artist to graduate from the International Space University and Singularity
University, Dr. Pell served as Co-Chair of the European Space Agency (ESA)
Topical Team Arts & Science (2011-2014). Bending Horizons 2015-2017 documents
her expression during extreme art adventures at altitude testing immersive
media. Performing Astronautics 2016-2018 creates new territories for
experimental and emerging arts into human extra-terrestrial expression and
communication. In 2018, she joined Monash University as an Adjunct Associate
Professor across the Faculty of Engineering; Office of the Engineering Dean;
Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture; Artist-in-Residence at the Monash
Immersive Visualisation Platform. In 2020, she is Co-PI of an Australia Research
Council Discovery Project on Aquatic Play, Vice-Chair International
Astronautical Federation (IAF) Technical Committee Cultural Utilisation of Space
and Aquanaut on a 10-day subsea mission. Pell aims to contribute new knowledge
on human behaviours, biosensory media and communication design for extreme
performance, and responsible ecological adaptation.

approach, she produces novel experiments, prototypes, live art and films, and
contributes to speculative design, exploration science, publication and
outreach. Full Biography...

AN ARTIST LITERALLY ON A MISSION!

Dr. Sarah Jane Pell chases ideas to the ends of the Earth and beyond in pursuit
of an extreme performance understanding. This site documents her experiments and
missions alike. For example, a commercial diver and underwater performance
expert, Dr. Pell partnered with Project MOONWALK as a Simulation Astronaut for
the Human-Robotic Collaboration EVA Simulation Mission trials at the Comex
Undersea Lunar Analogue site, Marseille FR 2016. This sci-art immersion inspired
creative publications such as The Agency of Human-Robotic Lunatics commissioned
by Robotronica, 2017; How to Survive on the Moon commissioned by Arts House for
the 2017 Melbourne Festival; and Lunar Parliament for Kosmica at Ars Electronica
2018.

Sarah is also an Artist-Astronaut Candidate for a NASA suborbital experiment by
Project PoSSUM (an acroynm for Polar Suborbital Science Upper Mesosphere),
undertaking Bioastronutics Human Factors Performance research, and Spaceflight
Egress and Sea Survival training. Projects such as Stellar Corpus, SPECTRA, and
Aquabatics embody archetypal human dreams of flight and faciation with the
depths too. For her Australia Council Fellowship, Pell was MDRS Crew 188, MAU
Nepal 001, and Monash Immersive Visualisation Platform Artist-in-Residence, and
Commander of the Lunares lunar analogue mission. She publishes in top-tier
outlets.

WHAT GLOBAL LEADERS SAY?

Dr Sarah Jane Pell's mission epitomises the power, strength and tenacity
required for humans to push through boundaries. No only does she plan to scale
the world's highest peak, Mt Everest, but she plans to do it in a unique,
artistic and inspiring way. I wish Sarah great success and I look forward to
following her amazing journey.

Chris Jensen Burke, 2015 5th NZ and 10th AU woman to summit Mt Everest

We need to invest more in these kinds of experiments and prototypes, as does
‘aquabatics’ pioneer Sarah Jane Pell, who is exploring an adaptive aquatic
approach to the future of space....

Prof. Rachel Armstrong, 2014 Architectural Design.

Although she draws on the poetic and performative potential suggested by aquatic
environments, her body of work is best described as an aestheticisation of life
support systems.

Dr. Jonathan Marshall, 2005 Real Time.

I see Sarah in a Bargshrinikov way.
She has a particular virtuosity to her body...uniquely acclimatised to extreme
environments.

Dr. Richard Move, 2018 Choreographer, MoveIt Productions NY
