When Toyota subsidiary Denso Wave started using QR Codes (abbreviation of Quick Response Code) for tracking vehicles, little did they know that this matrix barcode would be used to spread poetry in Athens!

So, walking lovers don’t be surprised if you see a QR code stenciled or glued against a random wall in the city centre. Just take your smartphone out, scan it and … voilà- a poem will appear on your screen to brighten your day!

Codepoetry is an urban game with a poem database which is regularly updated, so no chance you ever read the same poem twice! And if you feel like posting your poem so that others can read it, email codepoetry to submit your "oeuvre"!
