When the young virtual idol Shen Yuan was forced to tear off his clothes and use his body to cash in the spotlight, he thought the cruelest thing was the gaze of capital. Until a psychological profiler codenamed "Lin Jianlu" sneaked into his world and delivered a seemingly understanding whisper: "The expression on your face when you lift up your clothes is like executing yourself." This was a cold experiment that began with observation and ended with conspiracy. On and off the screen, everyone is dancing in chains: Capital weaves tender nooses in the name of love, fans sacrifice their true feelings in their fanaticism, and observers record the disintegration of all humanity, only to find that they are already on the altar. "Profiler of the Abyss" reveals the emotional exploitation, capital hunting and human alienation beneath the gorgeous surface of the virtual idol industry. When data becomes the judge, when prices are clearly marked, who is staring into the abyss, and who has become the abyss itself?
Purpose: By gazing at the alienated landscape of the live streaming capital system, we explore how people can protect the autonomy and dignity of their souls under the clearly priced love and control.
