LOS ANGELES \u2014 The annual E3 convention here is known for the glitzy premiere of video games with huge budgets, and for its boisterous hustle and bustle. But tucked between the two rowdy convention halls is a quieter area resembling a Chelsea art gallery.<\/p>\n

This is the site of the\u00a0\u201cInto the Pixel\u201d<\/a>\u00a0exhibition, a juried collection of 16 digital artworks printed on canvas and plucked from the kinds of video games being marketed nearby. Those who stumble upon these works can take a few minutes or more to muse upon the artists\u2019 intent and inspiration \u2014 and perhaps glean some untold secrets, since the images are from games yet to be released.<\/p>\n

Now in its 10th year, \u201cInto the Pixel\u201d is still somewhat overlooked during the convention, although perhaps less so than in years past. Recent exhibitions at the\u00a0Museum of Modern Art<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Smithsonian American Art Museum<\/a>\u00a0have considered such art in a different light, focusing on each video game as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing is, these people are not computer geeks \u2014 they\u2019re real artists,\u201d said Martin Rae, the president of the\u00a0Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences<\/a>, which jointly produces the show with the\u00a0Entertainment Software Association<\/a>. \u201cAnd this is some of the top-tier art on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
