I know what we refer to as steganography (which is itself not inherently good or evil, as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography) explains) gets a very bad rep these days (if you don't know why, I'm not revealing it, stay innocent), but the actual "concept" of steganography, referring to the act of disguising the presence of imagery to be "found" later, typically as a part of other imagery from which it can be extracted, is pretty cool, and as long as at [https://side7.com/forums/thread/1003/](https://side7.com/forums/thread/1003/) I have a thread about cryptography, all of whose points apply equally here, I might as well have one for steganography too. I myself recently discovered at [https://www.reddit.com/r/TOTK/comments/14tihaz/this_use_of_anamorphosis_is_awesome/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TOTK/comments/14tihaz/this_use_of_anamorphosis_is_awesome/) that Tears of the Kingdom uses a form of anamorphosis (a form of steganography where the intended image only shows at a certain angle of viewing) for some of the puzzles that I haven't completed yet, and this is my favorite.
What is your favorite, most fascinating, and/or most notable experience with existing examples of steganography, do your artworks, writings, or your modus operandi have or operate by any form of it (be it any made to be found by the viewer or more for an in-universe element), and what's your ethical take on them? Discuss steganography.
