RGB Machine is a hands-on installation that transforms the glow of RGB light, the ambience of vintage computing environments, and the fleeting illusions of classic screen savers into a physical, interactive form. 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).
