Life and career

In the early 2010s, Zucker ran a web design firm, but soon shifted her art practice to focus on screen-based art.[3]

In 2014, Zucker established the design and animation studio YoMeryl together with the artist Bronwyn Lundberg.[7] Together, they were the first artists to present .gif images as art at the Brooklyn Museum.[8]

In June 2021, her work was sold at Sotheby’s as part of “Natively Digital,” the auction house’s first curated NFT Sale.[9][10] That same month, her work was sold at Bonhams as part of “CryptOGs: The Pioneers of NFT Art,” achieving a record price for her work at auction.[11]
