God Bless The United States Of Aliens
An all-seeing eyewitness report.
Headphones recommended. The piece lasts eighteen minutes and does not loop. Each visitor initiates their private session: listening to a surveillance report, overhearing a religious ceremony, lending ears to protesting prayers. Recorded in a computer terminal by a duo of aliens.
