Kotegawa's first project was called Cyber Atoms.
He spent 3 years collecting massive volumes of data from crypto transactions, bloomberg terminal, bot activities and much more.
He then manipulated the data so that it could be imported into a 3D modeling software, manually adding over 5000 datasets.
He wanted to keep the data as authentic as possible and avoided overmanipulation. He therefore had to reject 90% of the data as it was interpreted as an error.
After a 3D model was generated, he zoomed into it as far as possible, rotated to find the best angles to capture for his collection.
although the data was transactional and therefore colourless, the interpretation through the modeling software caused minor colouration to emerge. It's unclear why or how this occurred.
He took advantage of this "error", imported his captured perpsectives to photoshop and enhanced the colours.
