  SOME FAQs:
  
  What is: the Art of Performing Aural Sex?
  It is an erotic poetry show that incoporates elements of theatre in order to present to our audience a higher calibre of poetry show, setting us a step away from the norm.
  
  Where will it be taking place, and when?
  This third installment is taking place at the prestigious Kola Note on 5240 Ave du Parc. It is scheduled for the 14th of February 2009: Valentine's Day!
  
  What elements of theatre does this show incorporate?
  The show consists of three stages, pre-production; production and performance.
  
  1. Pre-Production is the organization of the show on an administrative level, determining the who, what, when, where and hows of the event. This also consists of auditioning and selecting the local performance line-up.
  2. Production is everything leading up to the performance, consisting mainly of rehearsals with the local artists.
  3. Performance is showtime, there is a stage, set, lighting, technical rehearsal, the works. It's in essence just like a theatrical play, only with a lot of sensual, erotic, tantalizing poetry.
  
  Who can audition?
  Anyone 18 and older can audition!
  
  Do I have to speak only English? What if I speak French or Spanish?
  We want a variety of poets from different backgrounds, no matter the language spoken - our main concern is enhancing the performance of the poets! It's even better if your work creatively combines different languages!
  
  Do I have to take off my clothes?
  No. This is not a strip show, or anything of that sort. Though poet's work might be raunchy/vulgar/taboo in nature, we encourage classiness and elegance. In the past some of our poet's made the decision to wear corsettes, or lingerie, but also three pieces suits and elegant evening wear has been part of the wardrobe.
  
  Do I have to sign up for auditions?
  At this time we are not signing up for auditions, it will be on a first come first served basis. The earlier you arrive, the earlier we will be able to pass you through an audition.

• Call for Erotica Art

  Are you an experienced artist working in the erotica genre?
  We are Unseen (http://unseen.tv), a technology startup based
  in San Francisco and we want you to join our rapidly growing
  international community of free spirits.
  
  What we offer:
  
  1. A state of the art Web site where your work gets immediate
  exposure to oodles of fans and potential paying customers.
  
  2. A simple to understand, transparent profit sharing model which
  offers you three way to make money: by selling physical works of art;
  by selling prints from your high-rez files; or by creating premium
  photo/video galleries. We are artist-centric and aim to make money
  with you, not off you.
  
  3. All services are unconditionally free to you and always will be.
  Once monetization features are launched in the near future, we will
  be taking a small cut of what you make. But we will never charge you
  for just being on Unseen.
  
  We take particular pride in being completely inclusive of all artistic
  media, race or sexual orientation of the content.
  
  Feel free to reply to this ad with any questions.

  1. What is Unseen.TV
  
  Unseen.TV is an Internet marketplace for the grassroots erotica content. There are already many sites on the Internet that exhibit high quality erotica artwork. There are even more sites that earn oodles of cash off mediocre erotica also known as porn. We have built Unseen.TV because we think that there is a place for a site that does both: feature quality work and let its members profit from their talent.
  
  We do not produce any content. Rather, we provide a state-of-the-art Web pltform for the individual artists to post, exhibit and sell their own content. Everything you post on the site remains your intellectual property and responsibility. We are not in any way affiliated with the porn industry.
  
  2. How it will Work
  
  Once Unseen.TV is past its infancy, there will be three ways for artists to earn money:
  
  * By selling physical works of art: digital prints, paintings, drawings, sculpture, etc.
  * By selling prints of your photographs.
  * By creating premium photo/video galleries.
  
  2.1 Premium Galleries
  
  The other way for you to make money with Unseen.TV is to create Premium galleries. Although at the moment we only free galleries, eventually you will have a choice to publish your images in either of two sections: Free and Premium. The Free Section will let you publish your images for free and your viewers can also view it for free. The Premium Section can only be viewed by paying subscribers. At lest half of what we will collect from paying subscribers will be paid back to the Premium content providers in the form of monthly profit sharing payment. The amount of this payment will be determined automatically as directly proportional to the number of times your gallery has been viewed in that month
  
  It will be up to you what section to put your material in. We recommend that only the best quality and most popular images be put in the Premium Section.
  
  2.2 Physical Artwork
  
  We're very happy to be home to all art media: painting, drawing, prints, sculpture and photography. We are actively working on giving you the ability to sell your physical artwork. Once this feature is launched in the near future, you will be able to indicate which of the images in your galleries are available for purchase as either photographic prints or original art. We will handle all the payment details for you.
  
  If you sell original art, you will be responsible for the shipment of your art. You will have full discretion over the price of your artwork. We will send you the payment after a short waiting period during which your customers will be entitled to a no-questions-asked return.
  
  If you sell photographic prints, you will have a choice of doing your own printing or letting us do it for you. If you opt for making your own prints, your artwork will be treated exactly the same as the original artwork in the previous paragraph. If you wish to let us do the printing for you, you will be responsible for providing us with a high-resolution digital image file for the peaces you offer for sale. You will still be able to set your own price for the prints, however we will withhold a fixed amount to cover the printing costs.
  
  Stay tuned for more news about the details of the physical artwork sales program.
  
  3. How it Works For Now
  
  Unseen.TV has only been launch in February of 2008. While there's already a great amount of quality content on the site, we believe that before we can introduce the Premium section and ask people for subscriptions, we must develop a more substantial body of quality content. This is where we count on your help. The sooner you upload your content the sooner we will be able to launch the Premium section, the sooner you'll get your first pay-check.
  
  At this time we're working primarily with experienced photographers who will form the core of the Unseen community and set the tone for the level of content quality. Once there's enough to launch the Premium section, we'll automatically convert the top performing galleries to Premium at no cost to you. You will be notified via email to update your profile with the banking information so we're able to issue a payment.
  
  4. Why Sign-up and How
  
  Although you will be able to view the galleries in the Free Section anonymously, the following benefits are only available to registered users:
  
  * Ability to create your own galleries.
  * Ability to contact artists.
  * Ability to add tags and comments to any one's galleries.
  * Ability to adjust any one's gallery's metadata, such as its Hardness Rating or Orientation.
  
  The sign-up is free and takes only a few minutes. Follow the Sign-up link at the top of most pages. The information you provide is absolutely confidential. We do not sell or share any personal information with anyone, except as required by law. (Complete Privacy Statement.)
  
  5. Searching and Tagging
  
  Unseen.TV uses a powerful extension of the popular open tagging search scheme, called Weighted Tagging¹. To review, in the traditional tagging scheme key words (called "tags") are associated with a particular gallery for the purposes of searching. For instance, if tags "bubble_bath" and "wet" are associated with a particular gallery, whenever a user searches on these tags, the gallery will be included in the search results (hit list).
  
  In the weighted tagging scheme, pioneered by Unseen.TV, each tag associated with a particular gallery also has a weight that indicates the relative strength of the association. For instance the tag "high-heels" may be more relevant for A gallery than gallery B. In this case, the tag "high-heels" will have greater weight with respect to gallery A, than gallery B. Consequently, when someone searches on high-heels, gallery A will appear closer to the top of the hit list than gallery B.
  
  A key point to understand about weighted tags is that weights are maintained by the server automatically. We use a sophisticated proprietary algorithm that tracks usage patterns and constantly adjusts tags' weights to reflect actual user experience. These algorithms take into consideration every search and a user's subsequent actions, such as which of the galleries on the hit list user actually looks at and how many images were clicked. For instance, assume you search on the tags "goth" and "librarian". After examining the search results, you will likely click on some of the galleries, but not others. Of those galleries that you click on, some you will not look any further, while others you will look at the gallery images. All these galleries that you will touch will be re-weighted to reflect the fact that the tags "goth" and "librarian" have more relevance to them than to other galleries.
  
  An individual user's usage pattern will lead to a very small change in the tag weighting. But statistically compounded over many users, tags' weights will be a fair, efficient and self-maintaining mechanism for more precise searches than anywhere else on the Internet.
  
  6. How We Determine Popularity
  
  Just like all other types of metadata, the View Rank (popularity) is determined by the server automatically. The Unseen.TV server continually monitors the actual usage patterns and adjusts each gallery's View Rank based on how many people have looked at any of its images. This method is far superior to the typical rating system because we recalculate each gallery's View Rank every time someone clicks on one of its images. We compute the View Rank by dividing the number of times this gallery has been viewed in the last 30 days by the number of times the most popular gallery has been viewed in the same period of time.
  
  Note that the Unseen.TV also features sophisticated fraud detection algorithms that will discount programmatic racking up of image clicks.
  
  7. Content Orientation
  
  We think of all erotic content as fundamentally either "Straight", "Gay" or "Bi". Admittedly, we also think that sometimes these designations can be vague, irrelevant, or even misleading. So, to make things less arbitrary we allow any gallery be associated with one, two or all three of these categories. Each gallery is rated as a weighted combination of the three orientation categories. We call this multi-category association the Orientation Histogram.
  
  The important thing to remember is that, just like with many other types of metadata, we let viewers adjust a gallery's orientation rating. For instance, if the creator of a gallery chose a strictly "Straight" designation, then the initial histogram will be 100% Straight, 0% Bi and 0% Gay. Consequently, the gallery will only appear in searches by visitors whose orientation preference is also "Straight". (The current Orientation Histogram is displayed on the View Gallery Page.) However, if a viewer disagrees with this histogram, he may also associate this gallery with the "Bi" or "Gay" categories, so that the gallery will also appear in searches for those designations.
  
  Note that we treat the original designation given by the gallery owner as far more relevant that the subsequent revisions by viewers. However, if enough people think that the original designation was incorrect, they will eventually overpower the gallery's original designation.
  
  8. Hardness Rating
  
  We think that the very term "erotic content" may mean very different things to different people. We also think that it's not our place to arbitrate between the varied tastes of the Unseen.TV community. Rather, we think that we are here to help everyone find what they are looking for. And one of the way we do that is by asking every gallery owner to rate his gallery for "hardness" on the scale of 1 to 10, where 1 means the softest and 10 -- the hardest kind of erotica you can imagine.
  
  Note that just like with other kinds of metadata, we let viewers of the gallery adjust its hardness rating. For instance, if the creator of the gallery chose a rating of 5, then initially it will only appear in searches by visitors whose hardness range preference includes 5. However, if a viewer thinks that this gallery is really an 8, he may use the Adjust link to place his vote. We treat the original designation given by the gallery owner as far more relevant that the subsequent revisions by viewers. However, if enough viewers think that the original designation was incorrect and adjust it, the gallery's rating will eventually be properly adjusted.
  
  9. How to Flag Inappropriate Content
  
  The most common reasons for flagging is child pornography and copyright infringement, though you may flag any gallery if you think it violates Unseen.TV's Terms Of Use. To flag a gallery, follow the "flag" link at the bottom right of the View Gallery Page.
  
  10. Social Networking
  
  There is a number of social networking features on the Unseen.TV site and more are added as we develop.
  
  * Comments. If you are a registered user, you can add comments to any gallery, unless its creator turned off that ability for a particular gallery.
  * Private messaging. If you are a registered user, you can send a private message to the creator of a gallery, unless he or she turned off that feature.
  
  11. How to Resign Unseen.TV
  
  To resign your Unseen.TV account, follow the Account link at the top right, and then click on Close My Account. When you close your Unseen.TV account, we will immediately remove all your content from the server. However, we may keep some of your personal information for a period of a few weeks for marketing purposes.
  
  12. Upcoming Features
  
  We are constantly working on bringing you new features. Here's some that you should expect in the near future.
  12.2. Physical Art Sales
  
  We're very happy to be home to all art media: painting, drawing, prints, sculpture and photography. We are actively working on giving you the ability to sell your physical artwork. Once this feature is launched in the near future, you will be able to indicate which of the images in your galleries are available for purchase as either photographic prints or original art. We will handle all the payment details for you.
  
  12.2. Premium Section
  
  Although currently all content is free to publish and see, we are planning to introduce the Premium Section. There will be a small fee to publish your content in the Premium Section. However, if you sign-up and upload your content any time before the Premium Section is introduced, we will wave this fee for you for as long as you remain a member of Unseen.TV.
  
  Here's how it will work. On the day when the Premium Section is introduced, we will automatically convert some or all of your galleries to premium. We will do our best so select only the best content for the Premium Section, but if you disagree with our selection you will be able, free of charge, change any gallery's designation from Free to Premium and vice versa at any time. Furthermore, this will be true even for the galleries you create after the introduction of the Premium Section.
  
  12.3. Video
  
  We are actively working on bringing you the ability to upload and watch video clips. They will work the same way as photographic images work today: you will have the choice to place your content into either the Premium or the Free section.
