    The blog just leads to https://research.swtch.com/qr/draw/, which is the demo page of the blogs [1] and [2] written by Russ Cox many years ago about putting pictures in QR codes by manipulating the error correction codes in them

      Hey thanks a lot, that should be the actual link behind the submission. Very interesting technique that boils down to encode a url with a ton of carefully shaped random numbers hidden in the fragment to generate the actual art.

      That's the example url from the linked blog introducing this technique http://swtch.com/pjw/#123456789...

      Source Code (Go) is here: https://github.com/rsc/qr/tree/master/qart

    Does this mean you could make a gif which is a valid QR code playing Bad Apple?
