Two Ships Passing: Kyle Schlesinger, Assistant Professor of Communication Design, University of Houston-Victor APRIL 30, 2013 The VAC, in collaboration with the art publication Pastelegram, presents the spring 2013 edition of Two Ships Passing focused on the topic of pacing and features invitee Kyle Schlesinger and his guest. Central to magazine work—online or in print—is the consideration of the pacing of images, texts, and ideas. Structuring how information unfolds over time concerns many of those working in temporal media such as magazines, films, or written narratives; these structures may have their own meanings that affect the reading of their enclosed content. Invited as our special guest by Schlesinger is Austin writer Cindy St. John. This edition of Two Ships Passing concerns the kinds of meaning that viewers and readers can extract from looking closely at the producer’s temporal structuring of a work. Whether works fragment, layer, or juxtapose sequences of events, ideas, or images, these moments of fracture and compression guide us through the work.
