- This article is about the German artist Zazie. For information about Queneau's novel, see Zazie in the Metro.
Zazie (born Evi Moechel in Zweibrücken, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany), is a German cyberartist based in Austria. She creates digital images by manipulating digital photographs with software programs such as Adobe Photoshop. She has had several shows, won several awards, and exhibits all of her work online. The IEEE magazine Computer Graphics featured her work in the cover story of its May/June 2003 edition.
Zazie worked as a newspaper and magazine photographer for 15 years until devoting her attention to digital imagery in 1997.
In 1999 she joined the Groupe de Paris du Mouvement Surréaliste (GPMS) (in English, "Paris Group of the Surrealist Movement"). However, in the tract "Du 'webisme' en ses uvres mortes - Les pâles toquets de la toile" ("Of Webism in its Dead Works") the group issued this tract denouncing her extensive participation in Webism.
She won first place in the digital art category at Art Dept's 2003 International Art Contest (http://www.artdept.com.au/contest03/) for a piece she made using Bryce and Photoshop, entitled Planet X.
