An interruption of the normal processes of real world systems by digital, virtual, or fictional means. Usually done for the purpose of social or cultural subversion, such as through culture jamming, urban exploration, and Hactivism. In pervasive gaming (or alternate reality gaming) and surrealist art (e.g. "Happenings") reality hacking refers to an experience that blurs the line between fiction and reality, or merges the game world with the real world. Some new age spiritual movements and other philosophers of consciousness, such as Terrence McKenna, talk about reality hacking in terms of a theory of the universe as "holographic" and the need to "hack" our consciousness in order to gain awareness of reality.
