And 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'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.
Piano 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.
Oooooh you're gonna get flack for that. I think that can still be used to get your creative juices flowing or atleast bring the image in your head to a first draft.
Seriously though I've never been good at anything artistic. I'm a programmer by trade and occasional dabble in the odd personal project lately, and I have a lot of hobbies. I experiment with electronics, I'm an (really really) amateur blacksmith. I feel like those engage the parts of my brain art might, but I don't feel like they're any sort of self expression. They're more academic pursuits, I do them to learn and learning itself is kinda the end goal.
To be honest I'm not sure I know what "expressing myself" in an artistic sense would be. I use words to convey my thoughts and emotions but I'm certainly no writer.
Thats all good! You don't need to write like Nabakov to enjoy expressimg yourself, any medium in whatever skill level you can that scratches the creative itch is a good medium.
Video 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
I love painting miniatures. I like to find or create a vibe in the sculpt and follow that to the best of my abilities. I'm a software developer so I already expend a lot of creativity in at work but there's a degree of freedom in it that I miss otherwise. I just like making stuff.
Cooking. 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.
I write and record/program music, often by myself but sometimes with others. I never release any of it though. Last release I did was in 2014 but it wasn't my music. I was just the drummer for my friend who doesn't play drums.
