ABOUT SUPERCAST
Supercast explores a sensory, embodied experience of the built and unbuilt environment. Sight is the most privileged sense when we think of cities and landscapes – but how do we listen and embody these spaces? How does architecture feel, how does it impact our bodies? Who is it designed for and who isn’t there? What does Antarctica, or Melbourne, sound like? How do you design for sound: from concert halls to the local pub? Does silence exist?
Supercast presents no demagogues, no singular voice of authority, but rather, a chorus and cacophony of sounds: a collective and intimate portrait of the contemporary world we inhabit. We take ‘super’ to represent: a generous and expanded field of perception.
Supercast is a podcast by Assemble Papers x RMIT Design Hub, produced by Bec Fary.
Supercast is produced in Melbourne, Australia, also known as Naarm, the land of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the traditional custodians of the lands across Australia where this podcast was recorded. We pay respect to their Elders past and present, and recognise Australian Aboriginal culture as one of the world’s oldest storytelling traditions.
ASSEMBLE PAPERs
Assemble Papers is an online and printed publication for small footprint living, covering art, design, architecture, urbanism, the environment and financial affairs. Reflecting an ‘ethicurean*’ approach to life, Assemble Papers stands for optimism. From culture and knowledge through to what we eat and buy, we believe that how we live and what we consume matters.
Assemble Papers is published by Assemble, an architecture, design and property development company based in Melbourne. Launched in 2012, we publish words, ideas and images related to living creatively and collectively. Our print publication is a biannual affair and available for free around Australia and occasionally in the world. Online, we publish new content weekly.
We’re local and global citizens based in Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia.
