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...

Global Nomad style is reminiscent of our travels around the world.
Our first meal of 2012 consists of… Lobster Cantonese made by my husband, born in Hong Kong; Pancit noodles from the cuisine of my Filipino heritage; Black-eyed peas simmered for hours with smoked pork and sauerkraut, both are traditional dishes from our [...]

Steve Jobs, in memoriam.

As a fellow at Harvard working with Professor Henry Louis (Skip) Gates, Jr., I have orchestrated standing room-only events, receptions and dinners for Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, MacArthur fellows and the public.

In the summer of 2010, I entered the Anthony Bourdain Medium Raw Challenge, eventually placing #47 out of almost 2,000 essays. The contest ran for about 3 months, but I only entered a few weeks before the competition ended.
My high ranking was due to Facebook friends all over the world and across the [...]
Five years ago, I relocated from a Boston exurb to my hometown of Lawton, Oklahoma. In the space of a year, the national spotlight focused on Oklahoma and this city of approximately 100,000 located in the Texoma region between Oklahoma City and the Texas border.
