At the Wellcome Collection the complete human genome, the building blocks that build a human being, has been printed out and made into books that adorn a ten foot bookcase. This draws on a similar point made by Hayles in the book 'How we became post human' when he says that we are just information with a body and technological information is our same yet does not adorn a body. The fact that our very essence can be unraveled and printed out into books, I believe, illustrates this point perfectly.
