I don't think you have to be part of a collective .. The hacklab is open on a
Thursday evening ( when volunteers are available ).  

You can come along and make use of the facilities there on a Thursday without
revealing your identity .. ( a bit like this mailing list heh! )

Most people putting positive effort into 'doing stuff' do that by engaging with
others.  

So if you want be creative in an 'arty'way. you could meet other artists and
engage in conversation, discussion, sharing paint .. ( i dunno .. stuff that
artists do together)

If you're interested in fiddling with computers come on down to the hacklab and
show us a thing or too there.  

What do you like to do ?

I fail to see evidence to support this statement. Please provide.

I hope this suffices
