While searching for image material for the nudes, Ruff noticed that the virtual images on the Internet essentially no longer represented reality but were merely visual stimuli conveyed by purely electronic means. The flood of images in the net, where images and information get superimposed, hardly allow the viewer an opportunity to determine what of the image information is real and what is virtual. Ruff set out to penetrate this terrain of visual “nothingness” using his experience in digital image processing. To this end, he used comic images as the material, superimposing these in several layers and multiplying them with one another until he had an image that was more or less devoid of meaning.
