Project by a Chinese artist who recycles found paper into enormous images and structural forms. Struck me as a very close parallel to our project - he upcycles discarded / forgotten materials into an object of beauty.

there was something vaguely similar (its a tenuous link!) at the barbican a month or two back. a chinese artist who's mother had kept and hoarded virtually every item she consumed for years. He laid all these items out in a room. It was incredible to see the consumption of just one person there - the actual physical space it took up. I guess it does make me think - Is there a way in this project to actually show people the physical size of their data. This could be in terms of the amount of fossils it requires to keep that data there over a year for example. hmmm!

Something similar: the work 'Notice-Forest' by Japanese artist Yuken TERUYA where the installation is made of cut toilet paper roles http://www.yukenteruyastudio.com/projects-1/coner-forest
