Alongside the events and the buildings, Anil Pattni keeps a working practice in design, content, and digital media — the three disciplines he lists on his own site next to “Futurist” and “Community Experiences.” For Pattni these are not separate careers; they are the tools that move the work forward and let people experience an idea rather than just hear about it.
Content that carries the work
Pattni’s site is titled, plainly, “Life of a Hacker by Anil Pattni” — a running record of building in public. Content, in his practice, is the connective tissue: documentation, storytelling, and the media that turns a weekend build into something a wider community can follow, learn from, and join. It is the same convening instinct as his events, applied to attention instead of a room.
Immersive & digital media
The most future-facing side of the practice is immersive. Pattni has moved his design work into VR, AR, MR, and XR — real-time graphics, projection, and installations built so people can stand inside an idea. This is design as an experience you enter, shown through festival and conference installations rather than screens alone, consistent with the immersive and installation work in his public record.
On video
Pattni maintains a YouTube channel where he documents Tiny Hacker House and the broader maker work — a natural home for a practice whose builds are so physical that they are best understood in motion. The talk below, recorded independently, is one public example of him presenting the Tiny Hacker House vision.

Design that must get built
What ties the media work back to the rest of the portfolio is a refusal to let design stay virtual. The same person who runs an XR installation also raises a geodesic dome and pours the pad for an affordable-housing unit. The digital-media practice exists to extend the physical work — to document it, to let more people experience it, and to carry a grassroots idea from one room to the whole network.
