The sculpture’s display in a public park works as a gift to the public, or as a reference to the transfer of gold in treasure chests as the people conquer the power from the rich, similar to a briefcase filled with cash delivered after a the rich lose a battle. The style follows in the tradition of a century of rebellion against church and renaissance art, or the militaristic realism transfered between cultures after wars as stores of wealth and symbols of victory. We can see this culture’s end in the paintings of Adolph Hitler. The concepts contained in the works such as the Sistene Chapel refer to the idealism but also the real existence of royal courts, wealthy clergy, and the upper class and higher ranks of the military who could afford to commission such works. Some artists within that style rebelled by depicting the lower class with dignity, but in general it offered the upper class a glorified reflection of themselves. The Castello Cube reverses this idealism, showing a completely materialist subject, a symbol for the immense value of a the material human being, a human life. The $12 million dollar value of the gold in the cube roughly reflects the price placed on human life, the average human life that one might find at the park, as measured by the typical wrongful death lawsuit. The reminder of the high price of human life strikes the Nanobureaucracy as extremely unpleasant, since they would like to reflect on the socialist ideal, a picture of the Nanobureaucracy in the style of Raphael or Titian, while recklessly ending human lives and political careers. These intentional attacks on what they see as the unimportant, average socialist actually demand a very large payment from the Nanobureaucracy to the common socialists represented by Democratic Power. Such a payment appears to them like a huge loss, but to the people it seems like a just payment after a judgement against the Nanobureaucracy. If we leave the solid gold Castello Cube out in the park, it would form the center of a new group, a core perhaps of a new society, dedicated to its just redistribution. This vision of a new society based on the power of the people is what draws such a sharp reaction from the Nanobureaucrats.
