LG Electronics Celebrates the Art of the Pixel
LG Electronics USA is supporting future artists by joining forces with the country’s top art and design institutions to commission The Art of the Pixel: Powered by LG Ultra HD and OLED TV.
It is a student competition for outstanding digital or new media artwork. LG’s premium Ultra HD 4K TVs and OLED TVs will provide the digital canvas that will bring each pixel of the students’ artwork to life by displaying the ultimate in color, contrast and clarity, says the company.
LG has teamed up with nine art institutions and, through this program, will provide more than $250,000 in student and university awards as well as LG TVs for use and display in the schools’ studios and galleries.
