1990년 일본 아이치현에서 태어났으며, 현재 가나가와현에 거주하며 작업한다.
코스케 나가타는 예술적 흥미를 바탕으로 다양한 현상을 지각하기 위해 사회 구조, 오늘날의 미디어 기술, 우리의 감각체계와 같은 근본적인 구성 요소를 찾아낸다. 동시에, 작품을 통해 하나의 존재를 또 다른 것과 구별하는 과정에서 지속적으로 모호함을 발생시킨다. 주요 전시로 《아이치 트리엔날레 2019: '정(情)'의 시대》(아이치현 미술관, 아이치, 2019), 《Open Space 2018: in transition》(NTT 인터커뮤니케이션 센터, 도쿄, 2018), 《The Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions 2018: Mapping the Invisible》(도쿄도 사진 미술관, 도쿄, 2018) 등에 참여한 바 있다. 일본에서 출판된 레프 마노비치의 번역서 『인스타그램과 동시대 이미지』(도쿄: BNN, 2018)에 자신의 에세이 「포토샵 이후의 사진: "사진적 장치"의 소프트웨어」를 기고하였다.
