This is actually from a text about a contemporary artist in Argentina.
The show described featured a large self-portrait and a gallery of portraits
La computadora y el joystick que asoma en un ángulo del cuadro, el plano picado y la estilización del personaje típicos del manga son quizá las únicas claves cifradas de la ars poetica del artista: el archivo infinito de imágenes de la web, la simultaneidad del hipertexto y el nuevo modelo de relato multiforme de los videojuegos parecen inspirar la ecléctica galería de retratos.
Is this just encrypted password? or password?
Thanks

encrypted code
It is used in a more figurative way.
Almost like "cryptic or esoteric code".
Like the parameters you need to have in order to understand the artist's symbology.

Just to add that in another realm altogether, as in poetry, you may have other "codes" and/or significances and nuances.
For example in this Lorca's poem, "green" is a symbol for death, if you don't have that "key", you may not get it...

Perhaps this is one possibility.

: Yes, if we understand "key" a bit figuratively but "as an explanatory list of symbols used in a map, table, etc"

Thank you, John.

Robert Carter
: Yes, now I think of it, it could well be using the public/private key idea as a metaphor. I think this could be a good option.

Thank you, Robert.

neilmac
: This was going to be my first choice, but maybe Robert's "coded messages"would be more accessible to a non-specialist audience in the art context.

coded messages
Despite the wordplay with the idea of "codes", "encryption" or "encoding" and computers, I think the main idea here is these figures are somehow code for something else in the artist's repertoire.
"Passwords" seems fairly wide of the mark, to me.
Literally, it would mean "encoded/encrypted codes", but "claves" seems to really refer to that which is being conveyed, i.e., the "message".

: Well, if you understand that "code", you get the message. Not exactly the message, but key to get it. I take your option would work, too. :-)

Thanks, John, yes possibly, but I think Daniel's idea is probably closer.

neilmac
: This actually might work better in the arty context, although my first instinct was the same as Daniel's, as I'm working in the EDI field right now...
