Thomas Wilfred was one of the first pioneers of this art form to produce generally satisfying results in a manageable way, rather than only noble experiments. He recommended the name Lumia and I shall use this term as equivalent to kinetic painting by projecting light on a screen. Wilfred advocated the word Lumia without actually defining specific devices. With reference to the many individuals working with light projections, Wilfred wrote to me : 'I am urging all of them to use the word Lumia for the art form itself, the word thus corresponding to Music for the art of sound.
