In my talk, I will provide an overall mapping of this situation and single out some key nodes: the re-mediation of print, data portraiture, bridging the analogue/digital divide, and the redesign of knowledge spaces from classrooms to museums." **Jeffrey Schnapp** is the founder/faculty director of _metaLAB_ (at) Harvard and faculty co-director of the _Berkman Center for Internet and Society_. At **Harvard**, he serves as Professor of Romance Literatures and Comparative Literature, and is on the teaching faculty in the Department of Architecture at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. In June 2015 he assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of _Piaggio Fast Forward_, devoted to developing innovative solutions to the transportation challenges of the contemporary world.
