Dirty secrets…infuriating coworkers …sexual frustration…. Every experience, every banality and every whim is written, misconstrued, replied to, forwarded, replied to all and replied to again and again – via email. Does your everyday email define your everyday life? Is living vicariously through email living at all? When the electronic archaeologists come what will they think of you? Gruppo Rubato’s pygM@ILion is an opportunity to eavesdrop on all of the secrets, complaints and embarrassments that are better left unsaid.
