Overdrive: Nostalgia Through The Slipstream is a reflection on the complicated relationship we have to childhood objects that we cherish, and how nostalgia is intertwined in a larger system of marketing tactics and long term environmental consequences. I specifically focus on the consumption and disposal of toys, drawing from a deep personal attachment to die cast cars during my childhood. Experiencing the world through a neurodivergent lens, I saw my collection of Hot Wheels cars as an escape from childhood challenges, a world that I can imagine with a narrative all my own. Despite using the world of the object as my escape, I now confront the harsh reality that the objects I cherished are created with crude oil, from the car's paint to the plastic wheels and base. I must take into account that these elements produce material waste in production and shipping, as well as the inevitable time when the toys will be discarded. The degradation of our environment is more complicated than simply stating we have a problem with consumption. To confront our dire ecological situation, we must start by taking a look at ourselves. Nostalgia, and our deep yearn for simpler times, is a marketing tactic used to sell us more harmful rubbish, exacerbated by a constant stream of sequels, remasters, and nostalgia themed brand content. An important step in processing climate change is to think of memory, consumption, and nostalgia as something enmeshed in larger environmental issues.
