Story Transcript:Sl: V zimskem dopoldnevu je skozi velika okna sodobne pisarne snežilo na zasneženo mesto.En: On a winter morning, snow was falling on the snowy city through the large windows of a modern office.Sl: Notranjost prostora je bila minimalistično urejena, z veliko svetlobe, ki je osvetljevala kovinske mize in ekrane računalnikov.En: The interior of the room was minimally arranged, with plenty of light illuminating the metal desks and computer screens.Sl: Bojan je bil na delovnem mestu vedno prepoznaven po svoji resnosti.En: Bojan was always recognizable at work for his seriousness.Sl: Bil je srednje vodstvo in si prizadeval ohranjati profesionalni ugled.En: He was in middle management and strived to maintain a professional reputation.Sl: Medtem ko je potekala pomembna predstavitev, ki jo je vodila njegova šefinja Maja, so se oči vseh zaposlenih osredotočale na veliko digitalno platno.En: While an important presentation, led by his boss Maja, was in progress, all employees' eyes were focused on the large digital screen.Sl: Aleksander, eden izmed njegovih sodelavcev, je sedel nedaleč in se zazrl v svoj telefon, medtem ko se je smejal.En: Aleksander, one of his colleagues, was sitting not far away, glancing at his phone and laughing.Sl: Bojan je imel z Aleksandrom poseben odnos.En: Bojan had a special relationship with Aleksander.Sl: Pravzaprav, tik pred predstavitvijo, mu je nameraval poslati smešen meme za malo razvedrila.En: In fact, just before the presentation, he had intended to send him a funny meme for a bit of a laugh.Sl: Namesto tega se je katastrofalno zmotil in pritisnil na tipko "pošlji vsem".En: Instead, he made a catastrophic mistake and pressed the "send to all" button.Sl: E-pošta s smešno sliko se je nenadoma razposlala po celotni firmi.En: The email with the funny picture suddenly got sent across the entire company.Sl: Medtem ko je Maja govorila o prihodnjih načrtih, so se po sobi zaslišali smehljaji in tihotapski pogledi med sodelavci.En: While Maja talked about future plans, giggles and sly looks were heard among the colleagues in the room.Sl: Bojan je presenečeno opazoval, kako so oči vseh ena za drugo začele zaiskrivati v smehu, tudi konferenčna miza je bila polna smeha, kot da bi padla nevzdržna šala.En: Bojan observed in surprise how everyone's eyes in turn began to sparkle with laughter, even the conference table was full of laughter, as if an irresistible joke had been told.Sl: "Saj ne more biti res," si je Bojan rekel sam pri sebi, medtem ko si je nervozno grizel ustnico.En: "It can't be true," Bojan said to himself, nervously biting his lip.Sl: Poskušal je ohraniti zbranost, a slika je bila že dodobra objavljena.En: He tried to maintain composure, but the picture was already widely shared.Sl: Sistem za e-pošto žal ni nudil funkcije za razveljavitev in odstranjevanje že poslanih sporočil.En: Unfortunately, the email system did not offer a feature to undo and remove already sent messages.Sl: Sprostil se je hrbet na stol in potegnil globok vdih.En: He relaxed against his chair and took a deep breath.Sl: Ko je smeh postal preglasen, se je Maja obrnila k ekipi in skušala ujeti Bojanove oči.En: When the laughter became too loud, Maja turned to the team, trying to catch Bojan's eyes.Sl: Bila je očitno zmedena in želela vedeti, zakaj je v prostoru smeh med tako pomembnim sestankom.En: She was obviously confused and wanted to know why there was laughter in the room during such an important meeting.Sl: Bojan je vedel, da mora ukrepati.En: Bojan knew he had to act.Sl: Odločno je vstal in prekinil sestanek.En: He stood up resolutely and interrupted the meeting.Sl: "V redu, vsi," je začel in pomežiknil Maji.En: "Alright, everyone," he began, winking at Maja.Sl: "Mislim, da ste vsi prejeli neuradno 'nadgradnjo' naše predstavitve.En: "I think you all received an unofficial 'upgrade' to our presentation."Sl: " Lahkoten nasmeh, ki ga je vrgel v sobo, je razblinil napetost.En: The light-hearted smile he cast into the room dispelled the tension.Sl: "Sorči," je smehljajoče nadaljeval, "mislil sem, da bo moj prijatelj Aleksander to videl kot običajno, a očitno ste vsi zdaj na seznamu 'posebnih prejemnikov.En: "Sorry," he continued with a grin, "I thought my friend Aleksander would see it as usual, but it looks like you all are now on the list of 'special recipients'."Sl: " S svojim humornim pristopom je hitro pridobil simpatije ekipe, vsi vključno z Majo pa so začeli aplavdirati v smehu.En: With his humorous approach, he quickly gained the team’s sympathy, and everyone, including Maja, began to applaud with laughter.Sl: Maji se je Bojanova iskrenost zdela osvežujoča.En: Maja found Bojan's honesty refreshing.Sl: "No, vsaj vidimo, da znaš biti zelo kreativen, Bojan," je rekla z nasmeškom.En: "Well, at least we see that you can be very creative, Bojan," she said with a smile.Sl: "Morda boš moral naslednjič samo malo bolj paziti.En: "Maybe you'll just have to be a bit more careful next time."Sl: "Bojan se je usedel z olajšano sapo.En: Bojan sat down with a relieved sigh.Sl: Ugotovil je, da v resnici ne škodi, če pokaže kdo v resnici je.En: He realized it didn't really hurt to show who he truly was.Sl: Medtem ko se je smejal z drugimi, je vedel, da je ustvaril prijetno povezavo.En: While laughing with others, he knew he had created a pleasant connection.Sl: Deliti trenutek sproščenosti je res prijetno poživitev za vse.En: Sharing a moment of relaxation is indeed a delightful reprieve for everyone.Sl: Ko so se luči konferenčne sobe ugasnile, je zunaj še vedno padal sneg, vendar je Bojan vedel, da ga ni več treba skrivati za masko resnosti.En: As the conference room lights went out, snow was still falling outside, but Bojan knew he no longer had to hide behind a mask of seriousness.Sl: To zimsko jutro, na Valentinovo noč, je dokazalo, da včasih smeh najde pot tudi v najbolj resne trenutke.En: That winter morning, on Valentine's night, proved that sometimes laughter finds its way even into the most serious moments.

Slovenian Pavilion at the 53 International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di VeneziaLa Biennale di Venezia radioCona, http://www.cona.si/radio Miha Štrukelj x=0 / y=0 Interference in Process At the Venice Biennale Slovenia will be represented by a project from Miha Štrukelj, conceived as a total artwork and based on four thematic levels and media: painting, wall drawing, drawing and Lego picture. The exhibition deconstructs the picture plane with the aid of the grid as a structural and conceptual basis, where the painting is deconstructed and reconstituted through the disillusioned gaze of the subject. The themes of Štrukelj's artistic practice arise from a fascination with media-manipulated images and expand into the iconography of anonymous urban topography, and the isolated, quiet presence of the human figure. This approach is reflected in all the work, with the exception of the Lego-picture which portrays natural landscapes, a rare motif in Štrukelj's work.more: http://www.slovenianpavilion.comThis podcast is created in collaboration and co-production with RAM: http://www.radioartemobile.it/in the frame Learning Slovenian Lawrence Squire My Slovene learning journey Random Logic - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, www.cona.si Random Logic alias Gregor Zemljic & Miha Klemencic are the longest established artists of the Slovene electronic music scene. They have also written music for major and alternative theatre, ballet and experimental art performances (they are collaborating extensively with the artist Marko Peljhan on his multimedia projects) and also for films. In the year 2000 they were awarded the Studio City Boomerang Award (alternative Slovenian music awards) for the best live techno act in Slovenia and recently they won 1st prize at The 2002 RFI (Radio France International) Musiques Electroniques Award for the best electronic project in Central and Eastern Europe. Borut Kržišnik - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, http://www.cona.si Borut Krzisnik is a Slovenian composer of contemporary music, based in Ljubljana. He was born in Zagreb in 1961. Born into a family of diplomats, he moved frequently during his childhood, both within former Yugoslavia and abroad, before finally settling in Ljubljana. Living among different nationalities and experiencing different mentalities helped form his understanding of diversity, something which certainly contributed to his broad approach to music. He played piano as a child, eventually switching to guitar and building up his unique way of composing. He graduated in Psychology from the University of Ljubljana, but soon afterwards devoted himself to music. He released five albums: SACRE DU TEMPS (Station Zuid, 2007), A LIFE IN SUITCASES (First Name Soundtracks, 2006), STORIES FROM MAGATREA (KUD France Preseren, US's release: Falcata-Galia Recordings, 1999), CURRENTS OF TIME (Recommended Records, London, 1991; re-release: Tone Casualties, Hollywood, 1998) and LA DOLCE VITA (FV, Lju
