While these are not documentary projects, I think they do a great job of creating an aesthetic and telling a story utilizing new media. Also, they work to create a cultural precedent for multimedia storytelling, documentary or otherwise. Might be worth a glance. The first is Stuart moulthrop's Color of Television. He really launched the hypertext medium. These multimedia stories frequently utilize a fragmented aesthetic and the hyperlinkability of the web. At once these pieces are a celebration of cybernetic life and the web as medium. I even took a few stabs at one point.
The second is the collaboration, 99 Rooms. It uses a lot of industrial photography and sound to create a wonderful experience with some loose narrative elements. I don't know if these will actually be useful, but they may provide 15 minutes of diversion/entertainment.

Blog For Micro Mobile Technologies and Their Cultural Impact
I don't know if anyone has read this blog before, but I occasionally enjoy it. Textually is a blog dedicated to mobile devices and their cultural impact. It is produced in Geneva and is highly SMS oriented. It sort of reads like a critically informed technology flea market. Just thought it fit in well with PPP.
