you may be interested in some details of my method https://github.com/eps696/aphantasia, also optimising direct rgb pixels (as well as image fft/dwt parameterization). it's based on the great Lucent library (originated as Lucid, ported to pytorch), and used their tricks of color representation for better optimization (besides adding many more bells and whistles for image control).
it was originally presented on CVPR '2021 creativity workshop (see https://computervisionart.com/pieces2021/aphantasia) and later refined at NeurIPS '2021 (see https://neuripscreativityworkshop.github.io/2021/#/gallery, or completed piece https://vimeo.com/647961702, or few other artworks made with that method, available on vimeo)
