For previous works, the conceptual artist Jonathon Keats has copyrighted his mind as a sculpture of his own creation, turned John Cage's famous silent composition 4'33" into a ringtone, and tried to breed fruit flies into divine beings. 

His latest project is called "Pornography for God." Keats reasons that images from the high-energy particle interactions happening at the Large Hadron Collider, some of which haven't taken place since the birth of the universe, are the only material that might arouse God. "To a deity, the Big Bang is very sexy," he explains. "The Big Bang is divine coitus. And with the LHC, we can now simulate it at least as accurately as a porn star can fake an orgasm."

So Keats has set up a "porn theater" for God in Louis V E.S.P., a nonprofit art gallery in Brooklyn. For two weeks, beginning last Friday, the theater is running a live feed of graphic data from the LHC in front of altars that are designed to establish a line of communication with God.
