The commodity has become buried, sepulchral, and withdrawn from display

Evidence

The commodity is buried, like information is in archives, like archives are in bunkers, like missiles are in atomic silos. … Everything there is sepulchral - white, black, salmon marble. A bunker-case-in deep, snobbish, dull black-mineral underground space. Total absence of fluids; there is no longer even a liquid gadget like the veil of water at Parly 2,*1 which at least fooled the eye - here not even an amusing subterfuge, only pretentious mourning is staged. — Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation, 315
