While drawing attention to the oppressive & violent nature of technologies such as Oxevision (now LIO), we ultimately reject the notion that mental health technologies are, in themselves, either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but inherently entangled with the violent injustices of psychiatry and its carceral tools
