Way late reaction...
but we did experience this problem in the C-Base in Berlin during the LAC2007.
We didn't find a solution for it, other than playing one of the pieces from
two computers with manual synching.
Frank Barknecht's performance suffered completely from this and we didn't
project unfortunately... but you could look at his screen instead...
Maybe analog amplification is a solution... using a giant Fresnel lens to
amplify your computer screen, or an external screen connected to your
laptop... could be a nice alternative. Dangerous with outdoor performances
though.
sincerely,
