New Value Created by Technology: Kenji Kojima explores the intersection of perception, digital data, and media through works like RGB MusicLab, which converts images into sound, and encryption-based projects using one-time pad principles. His art often involves encoding images into unreadable mosaics using XOR operations, only reversible with the correct key. Kojima sees this process as a metaphor for human perception—extracting meaning from chaos. Kojima believes that “NFT art” is not art but a financial product. The true power of digital art lies in its ability to cross the boundary between uniqueness and reproducibility. If a real artwork could be copied infinitely, its monetary value would dissolve — yet its aesthetic or spiritual value could persist. Kojima’s work seeks to restore art beyond the financial boundaries of capitalism, reviving a direct connection between the artwork and the viewer. One of the primary causes of environmental degradation is the insatiable greed driven by materialism. Art has been confined within the boundaries of economic value and the cult of the singular object. To restore balance, art must step beyond this artificial line and rediscover its role in redefining human values. The restoration of art’s true boundary — between matter and spirit, value and meaning — may become the first step toward a renewed civilization. |
