Here is a clip from the film 'Accountant.' Which basically the premises of the film is really about how people with mental illness can deliver their contribution to society, regardless of their incapacitated state that deems them mentally or physically unable. Of course with the hollywood glam added in. However what I really like about the ending is that we learn that the head psychiatrist of an institute helping with mental illness has a daughter which in the beginning turns out to be the little girl the protagonist first encountered at his first day their, who suffered from Aspergers. Anyways sidetracking but in the end we discover that she has been his handler over the phone all this time, speaking through advanced pieces of technology.
So the question that is posed which certainly has its similarities to Kotting's method to his work, is how intellectually able are individuals suffering from mental illness truly are, despite their conditions. And can we in some way through means of technology map out this hidden potential. As we see visually she uses sound to translate her own intelligence and that is very similar to what Kotting has done with his daughter.
