Hey everyone, I'm interested in fiction media about hidden codes (or similar) in art. So like, The Da Vinci Code (2006), Utopia (2013), or Nautilus which was an episode of Person of Interest in 2014. Anyone know any others?
Boosts welcome
Thanks everyone, lots of great suggestions for me to work my way through

@nuala does it have to be explained? because my go-to fave is always The Crying of Lot 49
(tho I haven't read it in years and it may not actually be as good as I remember)
@nuala Lost Symbol series., Arrival movie
@nuala you'd probably love the 80s BBC TV series "The Adventure Game".
@nuala
There is The Ninth Gate [1999, Polanski 
, Depp ]
@nuala@toot.wales the short story "The Garden of Forking Paths" by Borges might fit this
@nuala Chasing Vermeer is a children's series that rode the coattails of The Da Vinci Code back in its heyday. I really enjoyed it as a kid--it might be fun as a light read as an adult.
One step removed, but you might enjoy the show White Collar, which is about creating and spotting art forgeries.
@nuala if you like 'em long, I seem to remember enjoying Neal Stevenson's Cryptonomicon but apparently that was twenty years ago now so no wonder I barely remember it.
Then the next three long books, his "baroque cycle" were also kinda related and I remember them better and were excellent but not as much about cracking codes.
