Artist's statement:
"A visual cipher, comprising of four posters, was situated across the city of Aberdeen. Each poster contains a section of the code. If correctly deciphered and assembled, the graphicode will be revealed and will allow access to a website."

Crombie created this work and ran a competition where he announced that the first five successful code breakers would be rewarded with a limited edition graphicode T-shirt; designed by himself.
