Description
The following work is a creative exploration of rock formations within urban settings, illuminating the sublimity of seemingly mundane micro-environments. I argue that the historical use of the sublime in landscape painting has allowed artists to create artworks capable of evoking powerful emotion. To support this claim, I investigate the works of American Traditional Landscape painters and Abstract Expressionists, focusing on the impact of their art within the context of its creation. Moreover, I illustrate the importance of redefining the sublime to contemporary society as growing urban environments decrease accessibility to uninhabited natural settings. Through the creation of three oil paintings and two charcoal drawings, I depict seemingly unimportant rock formations in an abstracted sense to demonstrate their sublime nature. I assert that a rock’s sublimity is derived from their existence on this planet as many of these formations are billions of years old, a number unquantifiable to the human mind. Therefore, as rocks frequent urban environments, I argue that the sublime can be interpreted on a micro-scale accessible within contemporary society.

In my Barrett Creative Project, I host a five-part podcast series about some of the vices in the MiLB's past and why change was necessary. The five parts are: living conditions & low wages, antitrust & minimum wage exemption, politics, mental health and NIL. I have different styles of episodes such as narrative and roundtable discussions as well as an interview podcast for my last episode. There is a mix of interviews with former players and some of my peers who I have worked with on honors contracts in the past relating to this subject. I also have a written component that explains all of this in about six pages.

Description
Chuck Yeager made his historic flight to break the sound barrier in 1947 flying the Bell X-1, an aircraft designed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and the US military to conduct research on supersonic travel. From that moment forward, aviation has been focused on harnessing that energy for practical application. The United States government would go on to commission an aircraft that operated faster than the speed of sound and higher than radar detectability in order to perform various cold war missions at a critical phase of history- one of the most notorious aircraft to come out of this supersonic fever was the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. In the last century, most research on supersonic speed has been conducted in a military setting, with some notable successes in civil operations, such as the Concorde, the Tupolev Tu-144, and more recently with the development of the Boom Overture aircraft. The engineering that went into the creation of the Blackbird provided groundbreaking innovation throughout the designing and testing process that set it apart from other aircraft of its kind and continues to inspire aerospace engineers working on the high-speed travel of our future.

Description
For my thesis, I designed a program called Plexify that would take in truth tables as CSV files and be able to generate the minimized sum of products or product of sums expression for any of the output variables in the truth table. My program can run on any Windows device and the repository for the program can be found at https://github.com/RockPalmer/Plexify.
