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 [...]

Life is a dance…a strange tango.

Words have always been my métier, and my production includes literary fiction, memoirs, essays, musings, editorials, an art-house film, a documentary, television features, and television news packages. One of my greatest achievements is the personal website, StrangeTango.com: Life as Art—the first literary and conceptual art installation in cyberspace—wrapped around the concept: “What remains as documentation [...]

I was off the grid until I arrived on the social media scene just over six months ago, and Athima Chansanchai is one of my first cyber friends. I first noticed Athima when she joined the Strange Tango fan/friend page on Facebook, leaving thoughtful comments on my posts. I was impressed [...]

Facebook September 16-29: Neo-Zen, Road Trip, Muse, Libra, Current Events, Links

As I recall, a high tech multimillionaire bought a book for a princely sum, but it wasn’t the rare edition you’d expect. It was a farmer’s almanac…a carefully kept journal ocumenting daily life—and an historical era. This level of authenticity captivated the future reader. By the same token, you don’t think this StrangeTango.com entry is [...]

New Age Traveler: The Creative Process

“Although these days I tend to travel in style, there is still a part of me that relishes the idea of roughing it and traveling lightly–to soak in stripped down, sensory experiences.” New Age Traveler by A. D. Tejada, in Millennium Muse

The Strange Tango personal website is a living and evolving art installation in cyberspace—the [...]

Cull the Pithy Metaphor

The New Age Mona Lisa…is the iconic image of Strange Tango. We chose a portrait called hypnotic and alluring.

“The methodology requires intensity coupled with bouts of stillness to cull the pithy metaphor.” Strange Tango, the epistolary novella, page 39.

Strange tango is my metaphor for life.

I could have blogged about gardening…foodie reviews…travel…culture…or politics. But [...]

It’s a Multimedia, Multiplatform World

The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) convention in Boston, August 2009.

I was present when multimedia began to take over the world. Around 1994, interactive multimedia and internet technologies—new media—made its way into higher education. One of the first journalism schools to teach classes in this emergent field was the Boston University College of Communication.
