Bats.

Again looking at sound, this time a more natural approach, Bats are blind and only fly at night, by the sound of it pretty useless creatures of flight, but fortunately due to millions of years of evolution bats have developed a technique called Echo location.

Echolocation, also called biosonar, is the biological sonar used by several kinds of animals. Echolocating animals emit calls out to the environment and listen to the echoes of those calls that return from various objects near them. They use these echoes to locate and identify the objects. Echolocation is used for navigation and for foraging (or hunting) in various environments.

Looking into sound for our current Image brief the book fair, after seeing sound as one of the four pathways, i instantly thought of the physics of sound and the sound 'Barrier'.

Sound, has laws of physics like everything else in this universe, these laws restrict the speed of sound to 1,236 kmph / 768 mph at sea level, with sound having this sound barrier it means it can be broken, and as with every rule humans discover we felt the need to break it, this could be an interesting route to take this brief, i have realised recently, i am hugely drawn towards taking my projects in the direction of science and physics.
