Marijn Brussaard (b. 1993) is an Amsterdam-based artist, composer, performer, and electronic music producer/DJ (under the pseudonyms Universal Ryan and Know V.A.).
With a background in professional dance and performing arts, he creates conceptually and musically driven performances and installations which reflect on the theatrics of hyper-contemporary phenomena, such as media saturation, subcultural identity, and simulation. In his work, the drama and tension are found in the contradictions and inconsistencies of these subjects. His multidisciplinary practice, spanning performance, film, installation, and electronic music, strives toward a transcendent, integrated state that pushes beyond simulated realities.
He has shown work and performed at Eye Filmmuseum (Amsterdam), Lowlands Festival (NL), The Grey Space in the Middle (The Hague), De Singel (Antwerp), Scopitone (Nantes), Schauspiel Hannover (Hannover), The Unicorn Theatre (London), Lunchmeat Festival (Prague), La Station (Paris), All (Shanghai), Dada Bar (Beijing).
