 This book explores the intersections between wearable
objects and human health, with particular emphasis on how artists
and designers are creatively responding to and rethinking these
relations. Addressing a rich range of wearable artefacts, from
mobility aids and prosthetics to clothing and accessories to
digital health tracking devices, its themes include care and cure;
wellness culture and the commoditization of health; and the complex
interactions between (human) bodies and (non-human)
objects. With a theoretical framework inspired by the work of
materialist thinkers including Sherry Turkle, Bruno Latour and Jane
Bennett, and bringing the disciplinary fields of fashion studies,
art and design practice, and medical and health humanities into
dialogue for the first time, this volume draws attention to the
complex agencies entangled in the things we wear, and situates
fashion and art in relation to broader cultural and historical
contexts of health, illness and disability. Â
