Specifically, what the algorithm seems to have done is leave the shapes of objects (furniture, hallways, etc) alone and decorate any blank space with random, Picasso-ish noise. It's chaotic, but isn't really Cubist. To be cubist it'd have to figure out some way to fuck with the rules of perspective much more than it does at the moment.

I think the motion aspect, at least what we see in the clip, forces a perspective that can't be avoided, breaking the style. Even if somebody did make a true cubist film it would be difficult to balance between intelligible and un-cubist or chaotic and true to style. Maybe. Hasn't been done yet so I don't know.
