QR code street art / poetry

It’s exciting to see a new form of art for the first time. I spotted these three small stickers on the north east corner of the intersection of Smith St and Johnston St in Collingwood on 8 January 2010. I don’t have a camera or mobile device to read the QR codes to discover their URLs – has anyone done this? I’d love to know more about this!

Update 11 January 2010: thanks to the commenters below for providing the links. You can read more about this art project at the site of its creator, Keith Deverell.

    I can see good and bad use of these stickers. Would be neat to have this on a t-shirt or perhaps a CV.

    The first goes to http://keithdeverell.net/30.php, the second to http://keithdeverell.net/20.php, I couldn’t resolve the third.
    Hope that helps :)

    They’re links to video works. I checked this on my desktop, but they appear to be designed for mobile phones, so probably intended to be viewed in context.
