The second performance at the TIK festival was very different from the first. The sound was on and everybody was present, according to the logs. But the animation wasn’t as nice. I realised later that this was due to poor data throughput. An installation was running that took up a lot of bandwidth at times. Not all the breath flows were visible. But it was still worthwhile I suppose judging from this nice picture by Annemie Maes:

I realised after both performances that this is only the start. I managed in a relatively short time to tackle all major hurdles but there’s a lot to be improved and added. I understood from the participants and the audience that they find it exciting to breath and create something together. So my idea of bringing people together through breath seems to work. I’d like to explore this further and I’m considering turning this into an open source project and develop a kit that people can work with so they can joint the community of breathers ;-)

The logs show even more differentiation then during the first performance:
