I don't think its a good idea to put the computers at front of house position. Part of the appeal of pieces like this is that the people and the computers are part of the performance. I do have some ideas that can help us out tomorrow though.
First off, I believe I can provide some stage monitors which will make things easier to understand what is going on while on stage.
Secondly, I will try changing how things are routed. Instead of putting the microphones through the interfaces, I will put the microphones direct into the mixing board, send those signals out to the interfaces, then take the output from the interfaces back into the mixing board. That means the signal coming to Jinok and John's interfaces will be line level. So be sure to set them appropriately.
My reasoning for all this is so that I will be able to have independent control over the amplitude of each individual instrument. Only problem with this is that I will not have control over the amplitude of sounds being played back off the computers. This means we need to get a balance figured out during sound check.
Does anybody else have a car we can transport some equipment in starting at 5:00pm tomorrow? Its not that much stuff. Two monitor speakers and an amplifier. Anybody who is available to help set up at 5:30 would also be appreciated. There will be more setup time involved in this performance. Let me know.

Thanks Dale - I like your idea of putting line level back to the two audio interfaces, and leaving the computers onstage. I don't know yet if I can bring my car - if I can, I will. Thanks again for your help today!
