Would you take life advice from a woman who smokes? From her body, I mean. In Martin Firrell's online artwork metaFenella, you can sample the wisdom of actor Fenella Fielding who, in the 1966 film Carry On Screaming!, uttered the immortal line "Do you mind if I smoke?" At which moment a cloud of the stuff wafted from her sultry form.

I'd like to see more art about the Carry On films. Or even a wider acknowledgement of them as art in their own right.

Fenella Fielding, now in her 80s, has of course done things besides Carry On. She pioneered women's standup comedy, was a legendary Hedda Gabler on stage and her unmistakable voice has enriched such classic television programmes as The Prisoner.

But who can forget her double act with Kenneth Williams as the gothic brother and sister who cast their victims in a gooey stuff like fish and chip shop batter? "Frying tonight!" as Williams cries.

It's surprising that Fielding has only now been taken up by the art world. In her own way, she is like an Andy Warhol superstar. The Carry On films were made at the same time that Warhol was making his "underground" films in New York and the similarities don't stop there. Warhol made his films for no budget; the Carry On films were churned out on a cheap and cheerful production line.

While Warhol's film superstars were flaunting their alternative lifestyles and identities to a small Manhattan audience, the Carry On casts were spreading ideas of sexual subversion to a bigger public in a Britain that only made homosexual acts legal in 1967, a year after Carry On Screaming!

To a child watching them on telly in the 1970s, the Carry On films – especially Carry On Screaming! – were camp carnivals of liberating outrage, whose comic universe somehow escaped parental censorship. And Fenella Fielding was the most subversive Carry On star of all, sending out sexy signals that were somehow not quite, well, straight. So check out what she has to say about life on metaFenella. You may find she changes yours.
