My initial reaction was "oh is that all". I mean don't get me wrong, the way the site works is nice, but I was really expecting it to move the code around such that the whitespace formed a picture, or have all the lines of code in random text sizes, or allow you to prioritise different sections so that some were highlighted or something like that.

As it stands it's not really something I want on my wall.

This reminds me of Litographs, a company that puts full text of books in poster form. While the concept works fine for prose it doesn't translate well for code.
Same. I was expecting something more like Perl's good old "Acme::EyeDrops", which obfuscates your code, then pours it into an arbitrary ASCII art shape. That's a lot more work than just removing whitespace and using characters as pixels, but this guy is charging money after all.
