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...

Michael Pang, Cornell '11
As a former Cornell University Trustee—and part of an alumni network of 7,000 volunteers—I have connected possibly hundreds of Cornellians on my personal Facebook page. Guest columnist Michael Pang, Cornell ’11, came to my attention when we friended each other on Facebook through a post about the Cornell Asian Alumni Association [...]
Athima Chansanchai, Tima Media
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 [...]
Erin Yoshimura and Gil Asakawa
Gil Asakawa and I first met at a multimedia presentation during the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) convention in Boston this past summer.

StrangeTango.com is a literary and conceptual art installation in cyberspace that launched in August 2009 with the theme, “What remains as documentation of a life?” Through my illustrated memoirs, writings, and commentary, I am documenting [...]
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 [...]
While power surfing the internet, I found one of my first published essays in the Cornell Daily Sun Digital Archive. My writings have been digitized! It was good to revisit my roots in activism and community building—and to remind myself that, from an early age, my destiny was to be published.

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.
My illustrated Facebook posts, July 16-21, 2009:
…for the 75% of my family and [...]
