On August 5, 2003, Hi-Tech Arts was awarded a contract for twenty-one framed and matted prints of works by Pennsylvania artist-composer Warren Richard Furman. They were installed in November in a new building recently completed at the Air Force Research Laboratories in Rome, NY. Three new larger works are due to be ordered soon.  [This turned out to be six, as above, not three.]

By way of explaining how the decision was made to choose Warren Furman's Hi-Tech Arts as the source of artwork for the project, the designer said, "This is a very high-tech intelligence lab, and I was contemplating some of the things in which the scientists were interested. This led me to look for fractals as art, and somewhere along the way I found your [HiTechArts.com] website. Many times I use artwork that is under GSA (government) contract, because we do a lot of government projects. However, much of that artwork is reproduction prints of well-known artists or "motivational" prints. I really wanted something different for this project."

The hightly secretive nature of the AFRL prohibits photographs of the collection, but here are a couple of early ones. You will see why the architect felt the need for a few larger prints.
