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?

Finding nice places to just be. In the city, in nature, where ever but magical places.

The art is already there, but I just find it and let myself be surrounded by it for a while.

not mine. its very car dependent and most old walkable neighborhoods were left for dead. its making a comeback but it is a US city that was ruined with urban "renewal"

Yeah I’ve lived in a few and will say when I lived in Houston I was super disappointed. However I live near Pittsburgh now which is rated as one of the most walkable but I just find it beautiful. Love the architecture/housing of the whole area. I’m originally from the west coast and everything is concrete and beige and uniform which I always found to be super ugly. There’s still a lot of big Victorian houses out here that are super pretty

i really wanna visit pittsburgh some day! im in the midwest so the coasts always get a hoity toity rap but i think id prefer east coast cities, though west coast weather and national parks are unparalleled
