The Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the trade association that represents the U.S. gaming industry and produces the annual trade event Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3), has selected 16 pieces of video game art to be displayed in a premier collection in Los Angeles.
Each year, the Into the Pixel exhibit collects key art from AAA blockbusters, indie games and mobile titles as best-of-the-year works to be displayed during E3.
One of the Into the Pixel selections, titled “Pollen Field,” was created by artist Victor Mosquera for Ubisoft Toronto’s Starlink: Battle for Atlas game, marking the only Canadian recognized in the collection.
