Four Students. One Mission. Countless Memories.
Pixelated Memories is a passion project born in the digital classrooms of Mapua Malayan Digital College, brought to life by four students who believe Filipino pop culture deserves the same respect as any museum-worthy subject.
Think about it: Who better to bridge the 90s and 2020s than people who live in both worlds? We're young enough to understand today's digital culture fluently, but old enough to appreciate analog nostalgia. We're Filipino youth engaging with our own cultural history on our own terms. Plus, we're digital natives building a digital museum about the birth of digital culture. It makes poetic sense.
Meet the Team
Abdelsalam, Ashken
I'm responsible for making this museum look good. The graphics, the layout, the color schemes, the promotional materials — if it's visual, it's mine. I also manage our social media presence because a museum nobody knows about is just a fancy folder on someone's laptop. My mission: make 90s nostalgia look modern and make modern design feel nostalgic.
Garcia, Catalino
I'm the one who spent way too many hours watching old 'Eat Bulaga' clips on YouTube for 'research purposes.' My role is hunting down artifacts, verifying their cultural significance, and making sure we're not just listing things, but telling stories. I also manage our fact-checking process because nostalgia can be unreliable — people remember things that never happened!
Nonong, Angel Lyca
I write the exhibit descriptions, the pop-up cards, the comparison analyses — basically, all the words you're reading right now. My challenge is making cultural analysis engaging without sounding like a boring textbook. I want you to learn something, but also feel something. Also, I'm the grammar police. You're welcome.
