Ultimately, this research is based on the theories of cybernetics and<br />

interactionism, in which the interaction between users and systems (e.g. architecture) can<br />

be seen as a complete feedback system. The responsiveness of the environment to users’<br />

inputs can help in providing an example of such systems. Yet, the interactions between<br />

the users and the environment are not only based on their mutual relationships, but also<br />

on the medium. The monument for an increasingly digital society, Monumental-IT,<br />

employs IT and robotics to create an embodied interactional space. This medium of<br />

embodied interaction is merging the digital into the physical using the “Internet of<br />

Things” platform (Pachube Community), and creating an intelligent platform that<br />

embody the interactions between the users and the monument, see Chapter Three and<br />

Chapter Four.<br />
