休斯顿的“成为某人”涂鸦被MOG硬币广告覆盖

著名的休斯顿地标（Houston Landmark

A renowned Houston landmark, the Union Pacific Bridge over Interstate 45, commonly known for its “Be Someone” graffiti, has been overwritten yet again with unauthorized artwork, this time promoting a cryptocurrency named Mog Coin.

著名的休斯顿地标，是45号州际公路上的联合太平洋桥梁，以其“ Be Somey”涂鸦而闻名，再次被未经授权的艺术品覆盖，这次是宣传一种名为Mog Coin的加密货币。

The alteration of the iconic mural was spotted yesterday and captured in photographs, as reported by The Houston Chronicle.

如《休斯顿纪事报》报道，昨天发现了标志性壁画的改变并在照片中捕获。

This isn’t a first for the mural, which has served as a canvas for various messages since its first inscribing in 2012, and which, over time, has included everything from anti-war sentiments to obscure conspiracy theories. The “Be Someone” artwork has indeed become a Houston staple for motorists traveling downtown on I-45 from the north side. Its message has long inspired residents and visitors.

自2012年首次铭刻以来，这并不是第一个壁画，它一直是各种信息的画布，随着时间的流逝，它包括从反战情绪到模糊的阴谋理论的所有内容。 “成为某人”的艺术品确实已成为休斯顿的主食，对于从北侧I-45旅行的驾驶者来说，驾驶者。它的信息长期以来启发了居民和游客。

Despite past efforts to officially recognize the piece, including a 2018 petition that garnered over 16,000 signatures aiming to designate the graffiti as a city landmark, the mural has frequently found itself a target for defacement. This particular act of vandalism, changing the message to “Mog Coin,” is still shrouded in mystery with no clear indication whether the cryptocurrency has any real ties to the city, KHOU reported.

尽管过去努力正式承认这件作品，包括2018年的请愿书，该请愿书旨在将涂鸦指定为城市地标，但壁画经常发现自己是污损的目标。 Khou报道说，这种特殊的破坏行为，将信息更改为“ Mog Coin”，仍然笼罩在神秘之中，没有明确迹象表明加密货币是否与该市有任何真正的联系。

In previous years, the bridge has hosted a variety of painted alterations. Notably, in 2023, it served as a platform for activist Chandrika Metivie, who revised the sign to reflect messages such as “Woman, Life, Freedom,” and “No War Know Peace.” These changes were not without consequence, as Metivie faced felony criminal charges, only to have them dismissed in December, according to court records cited by The Houston Chronicle.

在过去的几年中，这座桥已举办了各种绘画改动。值得注意的是，在2023年，它是激进主义者Chandrika Metivie的平台，他修改了标志，以反映诸如“女人，生活，自由”和“不知道和平的战争”之类的信息。根据《休斯顿纪事报》的法庭记录，这些变化并非没有后果，因为梅特维面临重罪刑事指控，只是在12月被解雇。

Despite the recurring acts to undesirably alter its appearance, the “Be Someone” graffiti continues to resonate with Houstonians and represents a special piece of the city’s culture. The recurring nature of the graffiti’s defacement can be seen, perhaps, as a reflection of the dynamic and constantly evolving landscape of urban art and dialogue.

尽管反复发生的行为不可思议地改变了其外观，但“成为某人”的涂鸦仍引起休斯顿人的共鸣，并代表了该市文化的一部分。也许可以将涂鸦污损的反复出现，这是对城市艺术和对话的动态和不断发展的景观的反映。

However, questions still loom about whether this latest iteration, “Mog Coin,” will soon be painted over to return the mural to its original and motivational “Be Someone” directive, as reported by KHOU.

但是，正如Khou报道的那样，关于最新的迭代“ Mog Coin”是否会很快将其归还其原始和激励的“成为某人”指令的问题仍然存在问题。
