“The night of Machine Project’s inaugural event (Saturday, November 15, 2003), the doors opened at 10:10 p.m. and closed promptly at 10:20. If you arrived at 10:20 and 10 seconds, the doorknob you reached for was already locked. A few seconds later, you would have heard a thundering guitar and spotted mysterious flashes of light through the cracks of the worn-down front door. If you stuck around a little longer, at exactly 10:30 p.m. the doors opened back up, the event was over, and you could wander in to experience the aftermath of the performance you just missed, consisting of several people enthusiastically talking about what they had just seen without you.
If, however, you made it inside before the door closed, you were immersed in ten minutes of experimental animations by artist Kelly Sears, telling the story of a fantasy kingdom of ice, crystals, dragons, and digital wizards, set to a live heavy metal band. Called Sexi Midi. This performance was described to email list subscribers as a “brief event” featuring “prog rock video with live guitar and bass shred. Bud Light keg beer. Also kittens.”
