2011 « Strange Tango

Untitled Document

StrangeTango.com is a multilayered art installation in cyberspace…the documentation of a life in three iterations: as a film treatment, a book, a blog.

“What remains as documentation of a life?” Strange Tango haunts the boundaries of digital streams and visceral storytelling, where pixels and dreams flow together.

Video, reportage, and nonlinear narrative meld in captured moments from the life of A. D. Tejada, artist - traveler - citizen of the world.

Life is a strange tango...

2012

All wrapped up…

Wishing everyone a magical new year in 2012…

Artist as Seer…

An early ambition was that I might enter politics or academia, or become a diplomat/lawyer/corporate executive with an international career. But my perspective has always been one of multiplicity: it felt more natural to me to see the interrelatedness of humanity than to become an expert specializing in a fragment of the universe. [...]

Louise Gansky Bendel: A Christmas Letter

Louise Gansky Bendel is one of my oldest friends, ever since we were student activists at Cornell.

Steve Jobs: at the Nexus of Art, Culture, and Technology

Steve Jobs, in memoriam.

When Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple CEO in August, I sensed he felt the end was near. Soon after, a photo circulated on the internet of an emaciated Jobs looking almost unrecognizable from the familiar image of his later years―the iconic portrait reminiscent of a modern-day Mahatma [...]
