[ DESCRIPTION ]
A panoramic film of twenty-two minutes for a curved wall, 7,872 by 1,440 pixels, on the history of internet memes from 1990 to 2025. It was commissioned by the Media Majlis Museum, Doha, and curated by Jack Thomas Taylor. Mammadov made it with the generative system designer Slava Rybin and the researcher Anna Ilishkina, and wrote the music and sound design himself. The film moves in order through the eras: early Web 1.0 pages, the image macros of Web 2.0, post-ironic formats, and the compressed feeds of the present. At the end the fragments are drawn together into a network diagram of how memes pass between online communities.
