Key Frames by Groupe LapsThe brilliant "Key Frames" <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/light-installation/">light installation</a> lit up the night in Lyon, France with a choreographed display of over 60 illuminated stick figures. Conceived by French art and design studio <a href="http://www.groupe-laps.org/">Groupe LAPS</a>, the dynamic creation was originally unveiled at the <a href="http://www.fetedeslumieres.lyon.fr/">Fête des Lumieres 2011</a>, although since then the display has traveled around the world. Made from low-energy <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/led-lights/">LED light tubes</a>, the troop of stick figures flashes on and off in time to original music composed especially for the installation.1
