Created in just six weeks for [EASTEAST_TOKYO 2023](https://easteast.org/2023/), it invites viewers to press buttons and watch shifting visuals, turning digital nostalgia into a playful, sensory encounter. It was also exhibited at [Ginza Graphic Gallery](https://www.ginzagraphicgallery.com/exhibition/yoshirotten-expanding-graphics/)’s [“YOSHIROTTEN: Expanding Graphics”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxp7aZHKVVk). ![](https://wp.baku89.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/rgb-machine_bts_0.png){.wide.pixelated} ![](https://wp.baku89.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/rgb-machine_bts_1.png){.wide.pixelated} ![](https://wp.baku89.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/rgb-machine_bts_2.png){.wide.pixelated} ![](https://wp.baku89.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/rgb-machine_bts_3.png){.wide.pixelated}

A tactile tribute to RGB light and the ghost of early computing.
