Artists collective Satellietgroep (founded in The Hague, Netherlands in 2006) explores the reciprocal relations of humanity and nature from an artistic perspective, with a focus on the sea, (coastal) landscape transitions, climate and the impact of humanity on the planet, with projects in the Netherlands and abroad.
Satellietgroep is initiated in 2006 by Dutch conceptual artist and (sub)urban curator Jacqueline Heerema, to collectively explore versatile and inclusive perspectives while interconnecting the arts and design with humanities/social sciences and natural/technological sciences, natural and cultural heritage and with society. The international network consists of artists, designers, filmmakers, architects, landscape architects, citizen scientists, local practitioners and scientists in the fields of ecology, climate, paleontology, geology, archeology, oceanography, coastal morphology, philosophy, zoology, botany, cultural and natural heritage, spatial planning and policymakers, pupils, students and tutors of art academies and universities, and more.
Projects are self-directed, funded or commissioned and developed in collaboration with multiple stakeholders.
Keywords: artistic field research; engaged art-science-society collaborations; enhance social, spatial and ecological public and professional climate-consciousness.

2021: Van Doggerland t/m Zandmotor
Veldlessen over tijd, zee en klimaat | Field lessons on time, sea and climate
Doggerland verdween. De Zandmotor verscheen. Tien jaar geleden werd dit nieuwe kustlandschap gecreëerd. Wat gebeurde er in de tussentijd en welke lessen kunnen we leren voor de toekomst? Hoe kunnen kennis en verbeelding bijdragen om een voorstelling te maken van een veranderende leefomgeving, nu en in de toekomst?
In het kader van De Week van Nationaal Park Hollandse Duinen organiseren we een serie veldlessen Van Doggerland t/m Zandmotor. Een publieksprogramma over verschillende dimensies van tijd, zee en klimaat. Geïnteresseerde bezoekers kunnen in kleine groepjes mee naar buiten om op de Zandmotor met kunstenaars, ontwerpers, lokale experts en wetenschappers en ontdekken hoe mensen al millennia lang samenleven met de zee. Van de diepe tijd t/m hedendaagse innovaties.

2006-now: To whom belongs the sea? | Van wie is de zee?
The sea belongs to everyone and thus to no one – words that not only define the world’s largest public space but also leave it unarticulated.
In January 2006, awareness that the North Sea may be perceived as a construction site or energy landscape to fit our needs instigated artists collective Satellietgroep to question ‘To whom belongs the sea?’ The initiative was triggered by the remarkable lack of involvement of arts, culture and heritage in the master plans for coastal transitions in The Netherlands, especially in The Hague, with top down reconstructions for urban beach resorts Scheveningen and Kijkduin and with the prospect of islands in front of the coast. Prospects of innovative engineering that raise questions about modifying public cultural space.
With this concept, Satellietgroep kicked off in 2006 with a fake news article ‘Kunst beschermt kust’ (Art protects coast). In anticipation of the future coastal expansions, the collective conceptually appropriated one of the artificial islands.

The arts offer a dialogical space. A portal to rethink perceptions of culture-nature. Faced with serious environmental challenges, we need to develop an other understanding of the world and of the self. The current (visual) idiom is incited to develop a deeper understanding.
Keywords: artistic field research; engaged art-science-society collaborations; social, spatial and ecological public and professional climate-consciousness.

2021: Water stroomt omhoog | Water flows upwards
Kunstenaarscollectief Satellietgroep is uitgenodigd door Waterschap De Dommel en Kunstloc Brabant om gedurende vijf maanden artistiek veldonderzoek, gevolgd door vijf maanden DIY publiieksparticipatie, de regenrivier de Dommel te onderzoeken i.h.k.v. LivingLab Brabantse Beken, de Landschapstriënnale 2021. Het collectief benadert het Dommeldal als een spiegel van de wijze waarop we ons door de tijden heen verhouden tot het landschap en veranderende maatschappelijke opgaven. De enige constante factor hierin lijkt de stromende Dommel zelf. Het collectief is nieuwsgierig naar de wordingsgeschiedenis van de Dommel, van de diepe ondergrond tot en met de huidige uitdagingen. Wie is Dommel? Link

2020: Who is nature? | Wie is natuur?
Essay by Satellietgroep – Lotte Bosman, Jacqueline Heerema – is published in ‘The urbanization of the sea’. This book tells the story of the sea-land continuum based on the case of the North Sea with versatile projects from academia, art, literature and practice, from analysis to design.
Published by nai010 publishers and TU Deflt: Link
Chapter 17: ” In particular in the case of the Netherlands, the border between land and sea is unclear and has been constructed and redesigned over centuries. In chapter 17, Satellietgroep show how their artistic projects pose essential questions that challenge preconceptions about the relations between humans, climate, and nature and offer poignant, palpable forms of reconnection and reflection.” (quote Nancy Couling, Carola Heins, eds.)
2020: Beyond Technology Magazine
This magazine reflects on the process of the 4 steps program of Explore, Collect, Share and Learn (an artistic method developed by Satellietgroep) in 2019 and presented at the cross-border MEDUWA Meeting in February 2020. Targeted at future professionals, students Watermanagement of University Twente engaged with students of Art & Design Academy ArtEZ to try to figure out how to learn to collaborate, acknowleding that you are equal while being different.
The initiative by Marcela Brugnach (University Twente) and Jacqueline Heerema (Satellietgroep) for this pilot stems from the need to approach challenges in the environment from a versatile perspective. A new method to bring students of art, technical and social sciences together with the public.
The project is funded by Von Braun Stifting.

2014-now: Artist-in-residency Zandgast, Zandmotor & Public Expeditions Zandmotor
Zandmotor, a cultural phenomenon.
It did not exist, it will dissolve, but will it realy be gone?
5 years artist-in-residency and Public Expedition programs called Zandgast, to explore the Zandmotor as cultural phenomenon. Zandmotor is a coastal pilot near The Hague that uses the principles of ‘Building with Nature’. This innovative project aims to generate new knowledge in times of climate change and relative sea level rise for future coastal protection. An innovation, built on the foreshore in 2011 with 21,5 million cubic meters of sand. The Zandmotor is the only Dutch area outside the dikes that is exposed to the tides and wind, built to transform and even assimilate around 2030 in sea, beach and dunes. The result is a dynamic extension of the coast, a new controlled post-natural ‘wilderness’. The Zandmotor is an publicly accessible open air scientific and artistic laboratory.

2017: Tuinieren zonder Grenzen, Gardening without Borders, Oerol, Terschelling
An inquiry into the friction between indigenous and invasive species, into the dissension between the protection and development of nature on the one hand, and the conservation of cultivated land on the other. By uniting different extracts from the landscape into new products, sacred lines are breached and new questions arise concerning authenticity, nature and culture on the island.
