What the paper investigates
The paper describes the design and evaluation of style cloaking: altering the learning signal while seeking to keep visual changes acceptable to viewers. Artist studies and model experiments examine usability, tolerability and performance under the countermeasures tested by the authors.

Its place in generative-art history
Editorial interpretation: artists seek to change the conditions under which data systems acquire and use their work. The technical history therefore includes practices of control and refusal alongside expanding capacities to generate media.
