Pressies - light buttons

The idea behind Pressies is simple: You press the rubber Hexagon and it switches colour.
It may switch between three or four colours and should be placed on a public wall in large groups, as seen on the second illustration.
It invites passers-by to communicate their emotions iconically or symbolically, forcing them to think outside of the box.
Option 1: It could be used to control a bigger display, such as the exterior illumination of a building.
Option 2: A group of Pressies could be connected to another group in another part of the world, so that if one person makes one symbol, the same symbol gets drawn in the other, in real-time. Communicating with someone else we don't know through such a narrow channel is fun and stimulates creativity.
