Geo-Chromatic Progress was a large-scale painted mural executed by Michael Mojher for the Birmingham Mural Project in 1978. The abstract mural, which consisted of oblique bands of various colors and patterns, covered the upper side wall of the Adams Design Associates building at 2201 Morris Avenue building as the 22nd Street Viaduct rises alongside it.
The mural was painted over in April 2009. Local graffiti artists Daze and Roke collaborated with Mobile artist Priest to "reveal" the mural underneath the new paint. Using stencils and a colored painted canvas they illustrated a young girl in the process of peeling back the outer coat from the back corner of the wall. In 2010 both the fresh coat of paint and the mural were stripped off, revealing an Alaga corn syrup advertisement beneath.
