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...

Team Tango Birthday

StrangeTango.com celebrates a milestone first birthday.

15 years was the timeframe between my first interactive multimedia class and the launch of StrangeTango.com: Life as Art. In the 1990’s, the Boston University College of Communication was one of the first colleges in the nation to teach a course in new media technologies. I was one [...]

SPEAK, MEMORY

Me, at the time I began writing Strange Tango.

The destinies of a pantheon of gifted Cornell graduates unfold through the internet.

        After my niece had graduated from pre-kindergarten several years back, she started summer classes at vacation bible school where she saw Luke, a former classmate who had left the class to be home-schooled in [...]

A./Dream: The Strange Tango Backstory

Edgy and Ethereal

I would describe myself as a hybrid: a literary stylist and a formally trained broadcast and print journalist inhabiting the same body. Not all of the entries in the Life as Art blog are 3,000 word essays and commentary. Some days, the visitor may see an image that conveys 1,000 words, or [...]

It's Official! StrangeTango.com

We went through several iterations before coming up with the name for the website: Mermaid and Sun…Muse and Tango…Millennium Muse…among them. The act of naming a personal website is like choosing a baptismal name—signifying a new life—for yourself. So I sent out a Quick Poll to gauge the fleeting impressions left by prospective titles.

7 Levels of Meaning in the Epistolary Novella

An almost vertical incline leads to the temple, El Castillo, in Chichén Itzá, Mexico.

Even the unwitting taking of a single pebble will cause an endless amount of trouble. Unknowingly, the pebble is a “touchstone,” a portal to vivid dreams, the ancient world, the collective subconscious.

(I can almost hear the reader saying, “Don’t pluck the [...]
