Making God: Jonathon Keats

September 4, 2009 – 2:03 pm

Universes Unlimited (2008) Modernism Gallery, San Francisco, CA Company established to manufacture and sell machinery for making new universes, using technology based on quantum mechanics. (A longer explanation of how the machinery worked is provided in the press release appended below.) This photograph shows Jonathon Keats at a shop counter set up in Modernism Gallery, where he sold universe kits and consulted on the construction of larger-scale universe generators. On the counter can be seen a couple assembled DIY universe kits, many more of which are lined up (unassembled still) on the shelf.
Where to begin with San Francisco based artist Jonathon Keats? I first came across his work on the cover of Opium Magazine: he was the mastermind behind the “Longest Story Ever Told,” a nine word story covered in black ink that will reveal itself gradually over 1000 years.
