Although not essentially derived from another original art, I found a WIRED article from March, 2007 to be a fantastic visually cited cohesion of art.
The article, Frame that Spam! highlighted several artists that created works of art derived entirely from external sources. Their process universally involved some sort of algorithm to categorize and crunch data from various people, programs, natural phenomenon, trends and even junk.
Pictured above is an example of a piece created when a search term was supplied to a special algorithm that "meandered" through the internet and mapped out its journey on a canvas. Other pieces include architectural structures created from the massive amounts of spam email circulating on the internet. Another represents WiFi signal strength in a certain area by bolder and lighter circles at the end of a radial plot.
Although we may find it difficult to classify as "appropriated" art, it undisputedly reflects the art of humanity or an homage to nature's current status.
