   Hi Klaus – just came across your blog entry, I’m glad to see some more interest in this piece, I think it is worthy of more attention. I created the second of the web pages you mentioned, and am not connected to Questacon (https://www.meme.net.au/nkrypt/).

   The dkrypt wiki has extensive images of the work in a linked dropbox for anyone who wants to continue figuring out these encryption puzzles, if you are unable to visit it in Canberra.

   The sculpture is interesting because it covers a history of ciphers, and is accessible at various levels, from simple shift ciphers to rotor machines and possibly beyond. I particularly liked the hand operated rotor machine built into one of the poles.
