Josef Wees is an IT professional with a passion for integrating art and other subjects. While studying at Northern New Mexico College, he began working with mentor Charles Knight on a project that used artistic expression to evaluate Euclid's Elements. Weese’s latest project with Knight, Euclid Off the Wall -- Proof Trees, aims to visualize every proof in the first book of Euclid's Elements, creating a striking display of the thousands of ideas necessary to conceptualize one of the greatest laws in mathematics: The Pythagorean Theorem.
