McKean's work offers its viewers an invitation into an augmented reality invoking a protruding nature into the study of an individuals mind. It's peculiarity really sets the scene to how an individual could process facts and information, interpreted from the outside world to make sense of them.

One film that Mckean did was called 'Mirror mask.' This film is a perfect example into the imaginative world that could be seen as a narrative to Kotting's work. Its dream effects adds reflection to the intellect this individual could possess as no one two minds are the same. This could apply to a lot of the films made by Kotting where he expresses intellect through sound, instead of providing an eery visual aspect like McKean has done, he translates this as a way of allowing his daughter connect with the world through a network that has prevented her from having the most simplest of communication.
















Here are a few of McKean paintings that are part of a larger scale of his portfolio collection, What is interesting to see he offers a sinister tone to it.
