Cubism, in painting, involves manipulation of perspective and time, and often features the fragmentation and reconstruction of images. This paper, a re-worked version of my master’s thesis in digital media, documents how multiple cameras, irregularly shaped video planes and computer vision can be used to create real-time cubist videos that combine multiple perspectives and multiple time series into each video frame. Its a ton of work to transfer my written work to the internet, with no practical commercial value (except that cubist video is pretty cool), so this project is moving ahead rather slowly.  My cubist video work, I’m pleased to say, is proceeding apace.
