Am I right that the image doesn't actually contain the code, as in encode it, but rather has a blurred, stylized version of the code? It's not some kind of quine or whatever the of the code to create the image counts as. (Edit: I'm on mobile so just saw a thumbnail, I realized now that it does have all the code in it)
The really cool thing I noticed about this website was the different sizes of the image. The aim is to make a 2^24 pixel image that uses each color on the rgb color space once. That's 48 MB notionally, and some of the images are 20 or 30 MB, but then others are < 1 MB that have a repeating pattern.
Obviously it's possible to encode the image that contains its code in a few kb corresponding to the 100ish lines of code in the image, but the actual size is 42 MB, unsurprisingly the png encoding or whatever it is didn't find the shortcut

The code is in the picture, not in the binary representation of the image. The code generates a particular encoding of the picture, but the code is visible in the image regardless of that (and even if you have a printed version of the image).
