Astronaut/Isonaut: Work in Progess
Astronaut Animation in Isomteric Space
We are developing animation sequences of the astronaut. These simple sets of movements will allow us to create series of more elaborate animations with astronaut operating in the isometric space, similar to villagers in the “Worship” video. The character of the astronaut has already appeared in Filmlog. The new animations will expand its role in the film.

Filmlog Video
Filmlog Video is a new section on Filmlog, that streams videos from The Heart of Perspective/ The Making of the Film project.
Filmlog was started in 2002 in New York by Dario Solman to record chronologically the development of the multimedia project The Heart of Perspective / the Making of the Film. Over time the project grew and evolved. It is not a single a work anymore, but a chain of correlated and modular multimedia projects that share similar visual language and narratives. 
Filmlog Video features full length videos made for the Heart of Perspective / the Making of the Film project.
Dario Solman Portfolio
The portfolio surveys Dario Solman's art production since its beginnings in the late Nineties, when he started as a painter, went on to be a multimedia artist and finally broke off with the arts to be a filmlogger and a robot / astronaut myth architect.

As the Solar System has 5 planets and nature 5 basic colors, so does the world has 5 cardinal directions and the year 5 seasons.
