16-year-old Yara is locked inside a bamboo hut, sentenced to starve to death in order to save her island. As she weakens, a storm protects the island inhabitants from ravenous monsters emerging from the deep. The village shamans cast stones to divine Yara's successor in the year to come. The lot falls on Yara's best friend, Nika, who refuses to let the ancient tradition take hers nor Yara's lives. As the days without food take their toll, the truth surfaces. Nothing is an accident and the tradition was built on lies. Yara journals her investigation into the Rainbringer history-until an unseen hand starts writing back.

Israeli artist Adam Berg's Archipelagois a multifaceted project in an array of media including drawing, video-installation, sculpture and painting. Evoking the feel of a group of islands emerging from the sea, this project probes the realms of actual and virtual imagination and the experience of temporality in connection to ecology, culture and entropy. This volume documents components of the project--"Dive," "Entropic Islands" and "Polar Invasion"--from their first preliminary sketches to final realization, and includes drawings from 1986 through 2007, constituting a "layer of time." Adam Bergwas born in 1962 in Tel Aviv. He studied at the University of Haifa, York University in Toronto and the University of Toronto. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and The Remba Gallery, Los Angeles.

Each of the contributions in this book addresses - through its own peculiar perspective, method and experimental style - a new way to approach the role of transcendence in socio-cultural life.In the Occidental history of ideas, the notion of transcendence has received at least three canonical articulations that are challenged by this book: religious (Judeo-Christian traditions), philosophical (Platonic-intellectual universality of ideas), and scientific (the objective and technological turn of knowledge). Nonetheless, it is with the rise of cybernetics, with its digital and virtual modalities of systems, networks, and knowledge, that our human environment emerges as a source of knowledge in itself --.
