Stano Filko's work of the latter half of the 1960s kept in stride with the new constructivist tendencies celebrating earthly space, technical advances, and civilization's expansion into the universe. After 1968 and his leaning towards project-art, a certain shift in working the cosmic visions became evident. The change has been documented in Filko's print cycle and perforated aluminum plates titled „Asociácie / Associations“ and a sound-text combination piece called „Cesta, let kozmonautov po etapách na Mesiac a ich návrat na Zem / Way, Astronauts' Flight to the Moon in Stages and Their Return to Earth,“ which epitomized the legend of American astronauts.
