Cool Art: 2014 'Into The Pixel' Collection Revealed



The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) and the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced the 16 winning pieces of the world-renowned 2014 Into the Pixel (ITP) collection.

Created in 2004, the annual ITP art exhibit honours video game artists who continue to push the interactive entertainment art form forward. Co-produced by the ESA and AIAS, the 2014 ITP collection will be shown for the first time at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the world’s premier trade show for computer and video games and related products, from June 10-12, 2014, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
“Into the Pixel celebrates some of the most important contributors to our industry – the brilliant artists and their endlessly imaginative work,” said Martin Rae, president, Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. “These visual storytellers help breathe life into wide-ranging ideas with a wealth of style and creativity. As these images demonstrate, the line between fine art and the artwork of interactive entertainment continues to evaporate. It is always a great pleasure to unveil the new collection in the Into the Pixel Gallery at E3.”
