He has been called "a gifted stylist" by the Christian Science Monitor which commended his "beautiful writing about writing." Battles also sees the institution of the library as more than just the building's contents. He headed a team which created a data visualization of the printing locations of books published in early-modern Europe, shown over time. He also worked with artist Sarah Newman on the video installation Your Story Has Touched My Heart which drew heavily on Harvard's photo archives. His "feral copyright project" at metaLAB looked into how copyright is lived and understood by regular people. In 2020 metaLAB (at) Harvard colleague published with Battles Their Names a visualization on fatal police encounters. (en)
