Born in Andermatt, Switzerland, Peter Regli is best known for his ongoing project, Reality Hacking, a series of temporary and often anonymous interventions in the landscape and other public spaces that he initiated in the 1990s. Spanning four continents, Reality Hacking includes over 300 interventions to date, including such varied works as RH No. 320 (Snow Monsters) (2015), a constellation of twelve marble snowmen in various stages of melting that occupied the plaza outside of the Flatiron Building in New York City; RH No. 202 (2002–2003), a composition performed by the Ensemble for New Music Zurich based on a recording the artist made of a glass shelf filled with crystal and glass objects crashing down a flight of stairs; RH No. 200 (2002), an artificial doughnut-shaped island built at the delta of a river in Switzerland using rocks and earth from the construction of a nearby tunnel; and RH No. 244 (2007), a snowman installed on the base marking the southernmost point of the African continent.
