Mouchette was created by the Dutch/French artist Martine Neddam in 1996. Mouchette existed on the Internet for many years masquerading as a thirteen-year-old girl living in Amsterdam. After more than ten years Martine Neddam revealed the true identity and the author behind Mouchette. In the meantime, the website, which is still active today, has become a place of pilgrimage for web lovers and her audience.

Mouchette is the ideal imaginary friend who does and says things that many of us dream about but do not dare to do or say out loud. At times seductive, at other times cruel, or very sweet, Mouchette exposes the fantasies born from her dark imagination. She constantly triggers web surfers to participate and answers e-mails that are sent to her. This combination makes her very real: Mouchette ‘exists’ for those who participate in the network. At the same time she is an extension of our identity that we experience as being both dependent and independent of us. With Mouchette, Neddam raises questions about youth, identity construction and imagination, an exploration that she started long before the current Web 2.0, but with issues that are still relevant today.
