Writing had always been my go to medium but more visual mediums have become appealimg to me recently.
Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) 19•10 months agoCoding cuz it’s interactive and it allows for generating a lot of detail.
First I’ve heard of coding being regarded as a creative medium but I get it and I like it!
What’s your biggest or best project been?
Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) 8•10 months agoAnd biggest project is like a massive process that I make pictures of, like of the debug output that helps me make it. It’s about nature embracing every space it can live in, including digital space.
And best? Well I get a lot of positive reactions for pussy mirror, which is a collab with someone else. It’s AR and it’s a bunch of cats that mirror the audience, like on a screen or wall by projector. It’s not my favorite but it’s engaging for all audiences of all ages and cultures. I love to creep people out by talking about the neural net used for visual detection.
If you’re a bit technical you can try it out. Install a beginner IDE like Process and try to draw a tree using an L system. Maybe it’s accessible via Python too with a library that allows you to open a window and draw some lines and colors.
I swear I’m normal, but pussy mirror startled me there. That does sound like a cool project tho!
Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) 3•10 months agoBTW I’ve edited the post and added a pic.
Startled you in what way?
On the internet, those words rarely have a sfw meaning.
Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) 2•10 months agoAh, you’re American?
Not at all
rufus ( @rufus@discuss.tchncs.de ) 2•10 months agoI’m gonna say coding as well. You can do all kinds of stuff. From programming a little robot that runs across your house, to more elaborate projects with proper soldering and engineering. Or you design a game, come up with an entire world inside your computer screen. Maybe with physics that work unlike we know from the real world. Many people also use coding to solve the small problems of their lives. Sometimes bigger ones. Write a website to connect people. Sell used stuff in the neighborhood…
The process itself is creative, too. At least for most of the part. Some amount is boring, hard work, too. I think I can admit that.
flubo ( @flubo@feddit.de ) 12•10 months agoPlaying an instrument. Not on stage for others but at home all by myself just for myself. :)
lorez ( @lorez@lemm.ee ) 3•10 months agoSame. Piano here.
Thats cool, what instrument and do you write your own music?
flubo ( @flubo@feddit.de ) 1•10 months agoPiano as well. I don’t write my own music, but love to play with the old ones like playing really fast or slow or loud or … sadly I am not of good in improvising on the piano but with singing its fine.
Edit: typo
sh00g ( @sh00g@kbin.social ) 9•10 months agoPlanning and running my homebrew ttrpg campaign. I’ve sunk nearly three years into fleshing out my setting from plate tectonics to modern geopolitics!
Now thats dedicated world building!
cynetri (he/any) ( @cynetri@midwest.social ) English3•10 months agoVideo game assets/customizing :) I used VRChat as an excuse to design a persona (in my pfp) and I made a game prototype to pay homage to my first car. I wanna do way more stuff but I’m still learning
OceanSoap ( @OceanSoap@lemmy.ml ) 2•10 months agoWriting, for sure
guazzabuglio ( @guazzabuglio@lemm.ee ) English1•10 months agoCooking. It gives me a chance to be creative, plus I need to do it multiple times a day. Also, you get to share the fruits of your labor with friends/ family. Definitely helps that I don’t have any friends who are picky eaters.
Yesss cooking is an underrated creative endeavour!
