Art and Chips

A work of art, specially commissioned by Q E D, is being given away by the programme tonight. Created by the "father of pop art" Richard Hamilton , it offers an amusing but disturbing view of today's world. He made his name in the 1950s when, using scissors and glue, he produced a collage depicting life in that period. That work is now worth several hundred thousand pounds. For his 1990s version, he uses the latest computer technology to combine feature film, television programmes, magazines and photographs. Although the original exists only in his computer, he has produced 5,000 hand signed laser prints which will be given away to viewers. Joanna Lumley tells the story of a unique collaboration between art and television.
