摘要

摘要:2020年8月,塞内加尔裔美国R&B歌手阿利亚恩·蒂亚姆(Aliuane thiam)——更广为人知的名字是阿肯(Akon)——在他计划斥资60亿美元建造一座城市的地方放置了第一块石头。在政府官员的簇抱下,阿肯承诺,这座大胆地以他自己的名字命名的城市将为塞内加尔带来旅游业和就业机会,并将使用他提议的加密货币Akoin。两年后,阿肯城只剩下一块石头和一块牌匾,矗立在空旷的田野里。它的精神同样是空虚的。这座城市的官方网站几乎没有提供关于其目的的真实答案,取而代之的是3d渲染的曲线视觉效果,阳具建筑在不祥的日落下下垂和折叠。

Con City
Abstract:In August 2020, Aliuane Thiam—better known as Akon, the Senegalese-American R&B crooner famous for his early 2000s Top 40 hits—placed the first stone on a site where he plans to build a $6 billion city. Surrounded by government officials, Akon promised that the city, audaciously named after himself, would bring tourism and jobs to Senegal—and that it would run on Akoin, his proposed cryptocurrency. Two years later, Akon City remains just a stone and a plaque in an empty field. Its ethos is similarly vacant. The city's official website provides few real answers about its purpose, and instead features 3D-rendered visuals of curvilinear, phallic buildings that droop and fold against a foreboding sunset.
