Born '''Lev Valdemarovich Nusberg''' in 1937 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Soviet Union. Son of a German victim of the gulag and a Tatar mother. He graduated from the Moscow Art School (MSKhSh, 1951-58). The eye-opening for him was the Picasso exhibition in Moscow (1956). He formed the [[Dvizheniye]] group (1962-74) whose members included [[Francisco Infante]] and [[Viacheslav Koleichuk]] among others. The aim of the group was to create 'bio-centric' systems called ''Igrovye Bioniko-Kineticheskie Sistemy'' [playful bionic-kinetic systems]. A charismatic leader, Nusberg attracted people, but some members of the group (particularly Infante) found his management style 'totalitarian'. The group disbanded in 1972, and he founded the group [[Dynamik]] in Leningrad. Nusberg emigrated to the United States in 1976, and led a hermetic life in Orange, Connecticut, afterwards. He moved from kinetic art to surrealist painting, and keeps rewriting the history of the movement. He died in 1992 in Orange, CT, USA.
