Z2012MACHINESHOPARTREVOLUTION

\ The Art Revolution

The machine shop was just the beginning of it all. An art revolution at the Naval Base occurred briefly after the refugees were cloistered in the machine shop. The refugees had plenty of time to ponder why they were relocated and what really goes on at the Naval Base. Human testing, they knew. The evil in science led to the twisted mindset that testing on humans was an appropriate action to go about. The refugees knew better and were thankful for the seclusion of the machine shop. It granted them time to reflect on the scientific misdoings of the Naval Base.

The machine shop was also the location for unwanted materials, so on top of the refugees being crammed into the machine shop, spray paint cans, scrap wood, and metal pieces were piled all over the place. The refugees would all wander around the machine shop looking for clues as to the meaning of the Naval Base. One day, Montana Michaels, the head honcho of the refugees, found a chip in the wall of the machine shop with words behind it. The words started something like "The Charleston Naval shipyard is governmental funded project that tests...”. There was no more lettering visible unless the chip of wallpaper was torn. Michaels went to tear the chip, but it wouldn't move. He tugged on it so hard that the chip came off and he flung back on to the ground. Still the same words were visible. He gave up deciding that the wallpaper was never going to reveal the history of this project.

When all hope was lost, the refugees banded together. Montana Michaels proposed the idea of a rebellion. The refugees would make art to speak out against the scientific misdoings of the Naval Base. Each one of them picked up an old spray paint can and put graffiti on the inside and outside of the machine shop. A piece composed by Montana Michaels stood out among the rest which were sharks turning into helicopters. The piece represented the refugees desire to escape the Naval Base by flying away. The sharks portrayed Montana Michaels and his crew because of their frustration and anger to leave the machine shop. And thus, the art revolution became a reality.

Because of the visual art disruption, the scientists wanted to relocate the refugees before anyone else became suspicious about this sudden blast of color on the Naval Base. The refugees were moved to the Annex. The admiral took note of the situation and the message that was trying to be achieved. He came to the realization that the human testing is wrong and maybe they should rid of the practice. It was a corporate decision to finally end the misconduct on the humans at the Naval Base and all of the tested subjects were moved to the Annex for rehabilitation. It wasn't just any rehabilitation, but it was art therapy. The admiral realized that art needed to be incorporated into the Base, so he made the Annex the center for art therapeutic care. The Art Revolution was success.
