By “unconventional” I mean something other than classical visual or audio arts like painting, sculpture, music, etc.

I’ve never been a very “artistic” person. But when I took my first programming class, I worked on my code like it was a sculpture. I found beauty in making my code clean, efficient, easy to read, and user-friendly. It still seems weird and affectatious to say, and I wasn’t really expecting that kind of experience from that class! It was one of the only times I ever felt “artistic.”

But why not? Any medium can be artful.

What’s your non-traditional art?

    Wow, that’s really cool! We’ve been talking about doing something similar with movie clips, making them into a cool flowing playlist.

      I do wish I was better at it, or at least that I had fancier editing software. Openshot is okay I guess, but the transitions and effects are a little rudimentary. Might just be a skill issue, I’ll admit.
