Sept 2018
Towards a New Amazon reviewed in (Usbeq & Rica) :
"Dans le petit « studio d’artiste » situé un peu plus loin dans la cour du Centre culturel irlandais se trouve aussi l’installation multimédia « Towards a New Amazon », de l’irlandaise Caroline Campbell. Encore à l’état d’ébauche, son projet vise à créer une intelligence artificielle de surveillance « démocratique ». Renversement de perspective : celle-ci aurait pour objet d’identifier la police comme une « menace » et les manifestants altermondialistes comme des cibles « à protéger » - des « amazones » ou des « oracles », selon ses propres termes."

From 5 December 2014:
Loitering Theatre will take part in Pallas Contemporary Projects Periodical Review #4.
This is the fourth in the series of the Pallas Project Periodical Review: " a unique, yearly survey of Irish contemporary art practices, that looks at commercial gallery shows, museum exhibitions, artist-led and independent projects and curatorial practices. Periodical Review is not a group exhibition per se, it is a discursive action, with the gallery as a magazine-like layout of images that speak (the field talking to itself). An exhibition as resource, in which we invite agents within the field to engage with what were for them significant moments, practices, works, activity, objects: nodes within the network."
'Participants were implicated in a crypto-mystical invocation of the infinite swarm of monetised digital searches, pokes, and likes flowing through the Dublin Gateway of Knowledge and stateless capital, whilst the spectre of the Anglo carcass lurked at the edge of amnesia'
-Mark Cullen (Director/Curator Pallas Projects) on participating in Loitering Theatre's A Guided Meditation on the Machines
