As well as, his books of poetry on the topic, “WAIT” and “haha”.

Surface Tension is a new digital exhibition which looks at the potential of new materials to positively affect the human body. Co-curated by researcher and designer Rosie Broadhead and writer & artist Wilson Oryema, Surface Tension argues that technological advancements in clothing design shouldn’t just turn us into cyborgs, but proposes that the future of wearable tech is holistic. Both Wilson and Rosie believe that clothing need not be used simply for protection or decoration, but could be an important factor in influencing what goes on within our bodies.
