I originally wondered how you could run strings across a binary telescope to decompile the secret passphrase from it.
And now I wonder if you can can come up with any funky shapes (I dunno, a graphic of a cat chasing a laser pointer?) using different strings, although you'd need to somehow compose a fourier transform of your funky shape to have it come out right, if I remember the theory of diffraction spikes correctly.
