About ISITDARK?
ISITDARK? investigated the sonic and personal biography of Liza’n’Eliaz. Liza, a transgender speedcore producer based in Antwerp, Belgium and on transit through rave Europe destinations from the early 90s until her death in 2001. By discovering digital traces of her life and work, aspects of sonic extremism, gatekeeping and online conservation of rave culture were identified. By revisiting the past, musical, geographical, biographical and historical- and bringing it into the present – the ENCORE group produced a series of exhibitions, panel discussions, concerts, an online platform and community forming motions. It was initiated by Tea Palmelund and Merle Vorwald.

The project continues on this platform, if you want to share interactions with or any material about Liza, please contact us:
