Fauxliage documents the proliferation of disguised cell phone towers in the American West. By attempting to conceal an unsightly yet essential technology of the modern world, our landscapes now contain a quirky mosaic of masquerading trees, flagpoles and crosses. The towers beg the question: how much of an ersatz landscape and manufactured nature are we willing to accept in exchange for quality cell service? The often-whimsical tower disguises belie the equipment’s covert ability to collect valuable personal data transmitted from all of our cell phones.
