I notice on Christina's/ DIA's Sikander piece "Dissonance to Detour <https://www.dia.org/art/collection/object/dissonance-detour-96127>", the Dimensions displayed on the collections site also include the DVD Diameter and the work's Aspect Ratio. I have a couple of questions for the wider group: (1) Do others of you who are recording info for time-based digital media include Aspect Ratio, Codex, etc., in the Dimensions Assistant fields? or rely on other fields, perhaps Attributes? (2) Does everyone list and/or consider the media on which the digital file was presented to the museum (e.g. a flash drive or DVD) as important enough to *display* going forwards, even when we may not be using the original format/media to present the work any more? We're in the process of refining/extending how we use TMS to document these works so all your thoughts are appreciated!
