DuctTape Collective is a research duo formed by Nai-Syuan Ye (TW) and Polina Slavova (BG). They create machines, focusing on character building through humour, storytelling and interactivity, with the aim to make technology accessible to the public. The name DuctTape refers to the simplistic method of using tape to fix issues in the physical space, expressing the vernacular character of their working methods and the light-hearted approach to the topic of human-machine relationship.
