[Artem] - I spend a lot of time writing code, both for generative art and working on my masters thesis which is around application of ML algorithms in the field of architecture.
When I’m deep in a coding session, if I feel my head is not working I'll take a pen and make some semiconscious sketches. It's a way to help my brain to reset, to give it a rest before I wade back into a particular challenge I've been battling against.
