Building a Celebrity Persona Through Narrative Immersion






Problem:

In contemporary fandom, distance no longer exists.

Audiences expect constant access, visibility, and emotional availability from celebrities.

As admiration intensifies, the boundary between care and control begins to collapse.

How can we make this invisible shift perceptible?


Insights:


Intimacy in fandom is not static — it evolves. It moves through stages:

[[ admiration → desire → control → collapse ]]

The closer audiences feel, the more they demand.

Excess empathy becomes pressure.



Aprroach: 
Designing Intimacy as a System
I constructed a fictional celebrity persona and placed it inside a controlled narrative system where intimacy unfolds over time.






Instead of real-time interaction, the experience unfolds over 7 days.

Subtle shifts in color, tone, and narrative accumulate — transforming affection into pressure.

The project operates as a feedback loop:

Persona → Audience → Response → Escalation


Installed in a high-traffic public space, the experience allows repeated exposure without requiring active participation.

Audience responses are collected and reintroduced into the system, intensifying emotional feedback.

Day 1 Screening
Day 4
Day 7



During the show:

Outcome:

Over 90+ audience responses were collected across 7 days

1/3 of participants returned multiple times

Emotional tone shifted from neutral to negative over time

Audience behavior evolved from observation to emotional projection

After the show, I collect over 93 sticky notes. I re-organized all the notes into days, types (surface & emotional) and extract keywords.

Day (1–7): Corresponding to a seven-day screen change;
Type: Emotion / Surface;
Keywords: Extract 1–3 core words from each note;
The medium of feedback reveals two temporal layers — surface admiration and deep emotional entanglement — both evolving over seven days.
