Davis Wertheimer

Davis is a prospective Symbolic Systems major, interested in examining self-perpetuating constructs and group dynamics. He is currently working on the photography of Carleton Watkins, in an art/research/design collaboration between the Cantor Art Museum, the Bill Lane Center for the American West, the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis, and the Branner Earth Sciences Library. Last summer, Davis was part of a Stanford research expedition tracking Hannibal’s route through the Alps, based on geographical data and ancient historical writings. This sparked his interest in spatial and geographical analysis. In his spare time, Davis enjoys creating fractal art, writing poetry and short stories, 3D printing and designing, and making his own ice cream.
