"Lucio Fontana, with the signatories of the Manifesto del Movimento Spaziale per la Televisione [Manifesto of the Spatial Movement for Television], made an experimental television programme in which, according to historical sources, some works illuminated by Wood’s light were shot in the studios of RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana in Milan. Unfortunately we only have written testimonies of such experiment."
