Harvard’s metaLAB is “dedicated to exploring and expanding the frontiers of networked culture in the arts and humanities,” pursuing interdisciplinary research like this fascinating look at the spread of printing across Europe in the 1400s. Drawing on #data from the university’s library collections, the animation below maps the number and location of printed works by year. Watch it full screen in HD to see cities light up as the years scroll by in the lower left corner. Matthew Battles, a principal and senior researcher at metaLAB and past Atlantic contributor, describes the research and technology that went into the visualization in an interview below.
