Mitch Said did a wonderful study on mobile media, which included an artwork in which he investigated the use of fake trees as cell phone towers common is South Africa. He asked the public to photograph these with their cell phones, and send in the images to a collaborative map which indicated not only the presence of these strange artefacts but also the mobile usage patterns of collaborators. (forgive the iffy summary of his work). I don't have his contact details at the moment, but Prof Christo Doherty, from Wits Digital Arts will have, and may be able to recommend more people working in this area as well. I am sure he would be happy for you to contact him and discuss possibilities.
