Citizen's Hat and Stand is one of my very few "Social Consciousness" art pieces.  It was inspired by my days as a federal government employee at the USGS.  The hat is made to be as uncomfortable as possible. Inserting the disc activates an annoying beeping sound while a music box plays "White Christmas" over and over.  Slides in the slide viewers in the eyeholes control what the wearer sees.  Knobs also control which slide the viewer sees.  Various lights  and knobs around the hat have no discernable function.  A symbol of all that our (and to be fair most) societies hold dear is stuck in the dead tree at the top of the hat. 
 
This is why I don't generally like  "Social Consciousness" Art.
Sometimes you just have to do it anyway.
