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...

Welcome to the world of Strange Tango. Conceptually speaking, the blog before you is an [...]
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 [...]

The Strange Tango personal website is a living and evolving art installation in cyberspace—the [...]
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 [...]
A confidential debriefing I wrote was once published in a popular, online college paper without my permission. I was deeply chagrined since my incisive insider’s perspective singled out an actual person in an otherwise hardworking and respected group.
