Qualia is Lockean? I though it was more modern than that.
Unfortunately I can't remember precisely, but that thought experiment originates from a letter sent to John Locke while he was writing An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. It was explored far more thoroughly by Russel and others during the turn of the twentieth century, but the base model comes from the distinction between primary and secondary qualities of objects.
