Unseen introduces new production services for erotica artists

 

Premiere Online Marketplace for Erotica Art Announces New Key Services

 

BERKELEY, CAMarch 23, 2009 -- Unseen, the premiere grassroots erotica online marketplace, announced today the immediate availability of its Production service at http://unseen.tv. The innovative online art marketplace has introduced several new features to support both artists and consumers, including:

·         Credit card sales of the artwork on the Unseen web site

·         Improved user interface and navigation

·         Improved view ranking and other algorithms


Unseen provides a pro-to-consumer online marketplace that connects individual producers of erotica art to the vast army of consumers of such content, presently served by a fragmented range of services from reputable art hosting sites to borderline illegal cyber-porn operators. Unseen legitimizes serious artists through an advanced platform where they can sell their work, evaluate one another’s creations, and interact with their audiences and peers. The company has committed to a strong ethical foundation that is equally matched by technical sophistication. It delivers a number of technological innovations such as open and adaptive tagging, which broadens metadata authorship to the entire user community and generates progressively better search results.

 

“Unseen aims to combine the commercial success of the adult Internet and the cult-like loyalty of alt-porn with its own principles of cultural richness, inclusiveness, and law-obedience,” said founder Igor Urisman. “Artists of all media and experience levels, whose work ranges from erotically charged intellectual satire to home-grown amateur nudie-shots, are welcome as contributors.”

The Unseen site managers recommend submissions of particular strength as well as features images that are “most viewed” by viewers which is the goal of Unseen; to create a free market that will function without any real editorial presence.

 

Launched in March 2008 and now receiving more than 12,000 hits daily, Unseen is preparing to further scale as it marks its first-year anniversary. Current traffic analytics corroborate the company’s confidence in its vision and technical prowess as well as the market potential. Over the next twelve months, the company will introduce the following features:

·         Weighted peer-to-peer ratings enabling a self-regulating eco-system where best work is juried by the artists themselves.

·         Sales of site prints: Digital Media artists will be able to sell prints of their work from the Unseen site

·         Premium Galleries: Photographers will be able to create subscription-based premium galleries.

 

By demystifying personal expressions of intimacy, Unseen offers a sophisticated intellectual platform in contrast with typical online content factories-- “soulless money propositions in a space that could not be more impersonal,” according to Igor Urisman.
