Robert Voit's project New Trees documents the apparently lucrative manufacturing industry which specialises in camouflaging mobile phone masts to look like trees. The bizarre mutant offspring of this marriage are beginning to populate the landscapes of the US, South Africa, Korea, Italy, Portugal and now the UK. For Voit these so-called 'magic hoods' of steel, fibreglass and plastic demonstrate that the background noise of verbal communication increasingly encroaches upon the visual domain.
