Matthew Battles

Matthew Battles is associate director at metaLAB, where he advances an agenda of creative research exploring the dark abundance of object in libraries, museums, and landscapes; technology’s impact on our experience of art, culture, and the natural world; and the conditions of culture and experience in the context of deep time. His writing on the cultural dimensions of science and technology appears such venues as The American Scholar, The Atlantic, Harper’s Magazine, and The New York Times. His most recent book, Tree, in the Object Lessons series, is available now from Bloomsbury Press.
