“…Starting with the CEPS quadrant (top right), we suggest that CEPS leads to believability perceptions (Brennan and Binney, 2010;Tomko, 2007). This occurs where visceral emotions enable positive and negative emotions to co-occur (Andrade and Cohen, 2007).…”

“…The affective power of experiential threat communication lies in the blurring between reality and fiction, amplifying consumers' hedonic, emotional responses to such communication (Hanich, 2011). Thus, we suggest experiential threat in marketing communications can foster a 'willing suspension of disbelief' in consumers (Tomko, 2007), leading to flexible, contextdependent, positive moral evaluations.…”

Positive Shock: A Consumer Ethical Judgement Perspective

2019

Existing debates on business ethics under-represent consumers' perspectives. In order to progress understanding of ethical judgement in the marketplace, we unpack the interconnections between consumer ethical judgment, consent and context. We address the question of how consumers judge the morality of threat-based experiential marketing communications. Our interpretive qualitative research shows that consumers can feel positively about being shocked, judging threat appeals as more or less ethical by the nature of the negative emotions they experience. We also determine that the intersection between ethical judgement, consent and context lies where consumers' perceptions of fairness and consequences lend contextualised normative approval to marketing practice. Our research makes three original contributions to existing literature. First, it extends theory in the area of ethical judgement, by highlighting the importance of consent for eliciting positive moral responses. Second, it adds to embryonic research addressing the role of emotions in ethical judgement, by ascertaining that negative emotions can elicit positive consumer ethical judgement. Third, our research contributes an original concept to ethical judgement theorisation, namely consumer-experienced positive shock (CEPS). We define CEPS as a consensual shock value judged as ethical due to its ephemerality, commercial resonance, brand alignment, target-audience appropriateness and contextual acceptability. We also extrapolate the dimensions of CEPS into an ethical judgement typology, elucidating how consumers judge some threat-based communications as ethical, but not others. Consequently, our work dovetails with wider business ethics debates on ethical judgement, adding value by clarifying the conditions that generate positive consumer ethical judgement.

“…Other pieces depend on a specific type of interaction to get started (Clocks and Clouds), posing the question of audience engagement and visitor guidance. The engagement with each piece is based amongst others on the ability to ignore that the contents are computer-generated and projected as mere images onto the screens, in a willing suspension of disbelief [41]. This ability builds on the acquisition of cultural techniques [44] [28].…”

The Immersive Lab is a platform for the development and experience of large-scale audiovisual and interactive media arts. In this article we investigate questions of audience engagement, artistic strategies, and interaction principles, as well as the effects of embodied and social interactions that become evident in this media environment. Using the catalogue of artistic works developed for this platform within the past five years as as our material, we carry out qualitative inquiries through interviews and categorisations. The emerging insights generate a clear perspective on the convergence as well as discrepancies between the artist's intentions and the behaviours of visitors in the media space and allow us to, if not definitively state, then at least speculate about universal aspects that each encounter in the media arts context entails.
