iCE Advertisements is a Digital Art group formed in 1991 .

HISTORY


format]]
The group originally specialized in the creation of ANSI Art work for BBSes and MCGA graphics. During the BBS-era, their biggest competitor was ACiD Productions .

The ANSI Artscene was in a continual state of flux, with intense rivalry between artists and groups. In addition, ansi artists tended to switch loyalties often, moving from group to group. Groups would merge and restructure, or completely disband, but iCE was generally viewed by Artscene regulars as one the more stable groups. iCE was known to have particularly effective artistic leadership, and benefited from early Artscene leaders such as Tempus Thales.

iCE, like their peers in the Artscene , released artwork on a monthly basis in the form of an Artpack . iCE released their first monthly Artpack , referred to as an "iCEpack", in August of 1992 .

During the transition between BBS to the art project in December of 2000 .

Today, iCE has branched out into Collaborative art, Photography and Digital Art with members worldwide. Although iCE has continued to release monthly galleries of art to this day (as of 2005), they abandoned the traditional Artpack format after the release of their July 2002 artpack (dated August 6, 2002) in favor of an online presentation via their website. On occasion, however, iCE continues to include ANSI artwork as part of their monthly showcase of new art.
