Orkhan Mammadov (Azerbaijani, b. 1990) is a new media artist from Ganja, Azerbaijan, whose generative art and installations translate archival and cultural data, including the visual language of traditional Azerbaijani carpets, into immersive digital experiences. He was trained in computer science, visual communication design and fine arts, and worked as a web and graphic designer before moving into installation and new media art in his early twenties.
He debuted his first public art installation at twenty-three, and his practice shifted toward machine learning and AI-driven work over the following years. In 2019 he represented Azerbaijan at the Venice Biennale, showing interactive multimedia work in the pavilion's exhibition “Virtual Reality”, curated by Gianni Mercurio and Emin Mammadov, which addressed fake news as a threat to democratic debate.
