Drive, walk or bike around downtown Salt Lake City and it won\u2019t be long before you spot one of the many murals dotting the urban landscape. For this mural by Chuck Landvatter<\/a>, however, you\u2019ll have to go underground.<\/h4>\n

Commissioned by the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art<\/a> in 2021, \u201cDigital Analogue\u201d runs along the underground passage that connects City Creek Center with Harmons (It\u2019s called The Link at City Creek<\/a>, but long-time residents may remember its entrance as The Old Social Hall). Measuring 9 x 36 feet long, Landvatter\u2019s mural is located inside one of many glassed-in, yet-to-be-leased alcoves that run along the underground corridor.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Landvatter\u2019s murals, which wrap around exterior brick walls, scale up large apartment buildings and dominate interiors at several businesses in the area, generally employ a mix of abstract, geometric shapes and portions of realistically rendered figures. And are usually painted. Here the figures are absent, and Landvatter has digitally reassembled portions of previous works for an inventive amalgamation of form, movement and color, printed on vinyl (a fact which may leave mural purists quibbling about definitions).<\/h4>\n
