An earhole is an open meatus into the body, through which sonic subjectivities are digested and recomposed. Sound and vibration leak in and out from all orifices, connecting and entangling in the folds of bodies, disturbing those boundaries.\n\nToday on the podcast Archie Barry and V Barratt join Frances Barrett and Debris Facility for a conversation that dissects their performances for Orifice Oriented Ontologies, a performance program for 'Meatus\u2019 at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art.\n\nOrifice Oriented Ontologies focuses on fleshy void spaces, rather than materialist objects, moving with queer dis/embodiements; worm as method, digestion and intimacy; and a haptic force of the guttural. The performances respond to the conceptual and spatial prompts in France Barrett\u2019s exhibition Meatus\n\nAn Orifice Oriented Ontologies digital collection \u2013 Worm (w)hole:\nOrifice Oriented Ontologies \u2013 is published in Liquid Architecture\u2019s online journal Disclaimer with works from the performing artists Sage Pbbt, Allison Gibbs, Archie Barry and V Barrett alongside Ander Rennick, Ivan Cheng, Jared Davis and Frances Barrett: https://disclaimer.org.au/contents/orifice-oriented-ontologies\n\nhttps://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/orifice-oriented-ontologies\n\nOrifice Oriented Ontologies\n21 May 2022\nAustralian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, Naarm\nPresented by Liquid Architecture, ACCA and City of Melbourne\n\nImage: Keelan O'Hehir\n\nProduced by Mara Schwerdtfeger. \n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/liquidarchitecture\n\nFor the past 20 years, Liquid Architecture has been Australia\u2019s leading organisation for artists working with sound and listening.
