received a BA in fine arts from Alfred University in Alfred, N.Y. in 2003 and an MFA in Electronic Integrated Art from the School of Art and Design at Alfred University in 2006. Critiques of the impact of scientific “breakthroughs” on identity formation inform Brackett’s work. Using new and traditional artistic media, she explores the factors that contribute to the invention of new identities and the overlapping fluid structures behind them. Brackett’s recent work uses scientific data, such as the Map of the Human Genome, brainwave biofeedback, and DNA frequencies, as elements in her musical compositions and surround-sound installations. Brackett has exhibited in Japan, Croatia, Hungary, and the United States. She has been awarded the 2005 College Art Association Professional Development Fellowship for Visual Artists, funded by the NEA, and is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in Expanded Media at Alfred University’s School of Art and Design.
