7 screens, each 3:2 — schematic 4 + 3 layout
Details [16]
MoMA specifies seven 30-by-20-foot screens. The 4 + 3 layout is schematic, not a measured aggregate ratio. The diagram shows discrete screens; 6.65:1 from the prototype is preserved as its artistic trigger, not a verified installation ratio.

Raster: 640 × 350
DMT defines raster timings. Raster width ÷ height assumes square pixels; it is not evidence of the physical shape of every historical CRT using this timing.

A screen has a shape before it has an image. In #000fff, chroma-key blue fills the proportions of historical film and display formats. The wall paintings began with Spectre in 2015; here the browser gives the research another surface. Resize the window or move between formats to compare the frames.
Camera fields: gauge / reference A/R / gate aperture / transport / optics. Projection fields: gauge / reference A/R / aperture / optics.
Camera frames, projected pictures, stored rasters and spatial installations retain their own measurements. A circle or dome is a topology diagram. Missing attributions and dimensions remain marked. Historical fields are reference transcriptions unless a named primary source confirms the field.
