Soundpot is a playful sound art installation that reimagines musical creation through combinatorial exploration. It invites users to manipulate and merge sound objects —distinct sonic entities— by leveraging latent space interpolation within an autoencoder.

Drawing inspiration from Pierre Schaeffer’s concept of the objet sonore and the combinatorial logic of puzzle games like Alchemy, Soundpot questions the primacy of parameter-based control and the role of machine-assisted creativity.
