Keith Tyson won the Turner Prize in 2002, the year the then culture minister Kim Howells caused a media storm by describing the entries as ‘cold, mechanical, conceptual, bullshit’. Tyson talks about the effect winning had on him, and discusses the works he’s currently showing in the Turner Prize Retrospective , including The Thinker (After Rodin), a black hexagonal column containing a bank of computers that emit a constant hum, first shown in the 2002 exhibition. The Turner Prize: A Retrospective , Tate Britain, 2 October 2007 - 6 January 2008
