Description

After getting censored for publishing off-limits gore content, the artist had to develop different visual strategies to camouflage questionable content. The camouflaged version of the book was republished successfully, because Lulu’s proofreader-bots and -humans weren’t able to detect the original content anymore. To share the knowledge about how to camouflage books
in times of internet-censorship, the artist designed an instruction manual. This manual is available to download for free at Lulu.
