The group originally specialized in the creation of [[ANSI art]]work for [[bulletin board system|BBSes]] and [[IBM Multicolor Graphics Adapter|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 of 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 1992.

During the transition between BBS to the [[Internet]], interest in iCE began to wane somewhat during the late 1990s. This was quickly reversed after the introduction of their well received [https://web.archive.org/web/20050403170613/http://tiles.ice.org/ Tiles] [[collaborative]] art project in December 2000.

In 2006 iCE branched out into [[collaborative]] art, [[photography]] and [[digital art]] with members worldwide. Although iCE has continued to release monthly galleries of art, 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.<ref>[http://www.ice.org/ Welcome to iCE.org!]</ref>
