Popis: The new scenarios brought by ubiquitous and pervasive technologies have drawn attention to design considerations towards integrating physical artefacts and digital processes. As for the human element in these scenarios, literature has emphasized individual bodies sensed by or acting with technology as social parties who participate in the environment. In this work, we draw on the enactivism-inspired perspective to cognition, to make explicit the social–physical–digital tripartite articulation into design considerations. The article proposes to clarify the tripartite coupling in the concept we are naming ‘socioenactive’. A case study carried out in the context of an educational workshop in an exploratory museum, with the use of installations designed on the deep time theme, illustrates some aspects of this tripartite relation. Data from the evaluation of the experience by children participating in the workshop, and from observations of intersubjective aspects of the experience made from recorded video, are presented and discussed. Results of the study clarify the main ideas behind an experience we are naming socioenactive, in its intersubjective aspects, and suggest lines to be weaved in design towards (smart) contemporary technology-based environments.
