This is clearly computer realised, if not entirely generated in-box. But I like the aesthetic. The trick would be to create a narrative presentation that employs these aesthetics in order to show a more visually stimulating cinematic experience that competes with and exposes CGI as a soul-less solution to the problem of story-telling.
It would be amazing if a whole movie, and a whole immersive reality therefore, were created using these techniques. It would, almost by definition be a tech-noir movie though I suspect.
As it is, its just a sequence of abstract arty lo-fi techniques, and as such, it isn't competing with CGI at all.
Check out the work of Oskar Fishinger if you don't know his stuff. He was doing optical mixing in camera back in the 30's and 40's and some of his stuff, if not all of it, still looks mind-blowing today.
