One of the most striking things missing is Picasso's play on perspective. Often his paintings would look at the subject though multiple points of view at the same time. Or he would break apart shapes, reorient them, and put them back together to get at some underlying idea.

Watching Dave jog along the perimeter of Discovery One in perfect perspective sort of undermines the whole effect. Even though the images are painted over with Picasso-like textures, colors, and shapes, it doesn't really _look_ like the real thing. That said, even if I think it falls short of capturing exactly what makes a Picasso a Picasso, I still think it's pretty cool.
