Emily d’Achiardi’s brat but it’s totally not brat just you (2024) is an interactive web piece that cuts up and reformulates musical artist’s Charlie XCX’s album “brat”. Lyrics to the song are cut and rearranged to reflect, according the artist, the “online remixing culture, where individuals reconstruct their identities through images, sounds, and references drawn from contemporary popular media.” The piece also explores music as an “emotional archive” that is constantly being revisited and made new again.

Emily is a net artist from Atlanta. She has a BA in Art History from Reed College. She is currently a freelance artist working towards her MFA with a concentration in media art and technology at UC Santa Barbara. Her reluctance to let go of the past becomes a practice of grief that explores obsession, memory, and treasured found objects. Thus her work often deals with selfhood, relationships, and materiality in the digital age.
