The goal of this ongoing experimental video project is to give their fans a taste of what is to come on their new album. The entire project takes twelve hours of VHS footage and stretches it down to one frame every two seconds in order to span the period of 30 days. That is just under 1.3 million images that will be displayed over the course of the month (43,200 images per day). Fans are encouraged to share these images on social media using the hashtag #watchRUFF.
