Mouchette is a web platform named after a fictional adolescent girl invented by artist Martine Neddam. Mouchette makes use of expressive HTML elements to involve the viewer her turbulent, emotional world; visitors are encouraged to talk about suicide, contribute fan art, and even adopt her identity. Mouchette now stands as a singular and important archive of online culture—humorous, dark, and often surprisingly touching.
