Paul Virilio describes in volume 3#3 in La Conduite Inférieure the history of the infrastructure of information transfer via a vehicle/machine to information that is being displaced by becoming increasingly invisible machinery:

In the summer of 1989 a new edition of MM magazine appeared in which media archeology is described and the museum as a space for the storage of objects (science, technology and art) is critically being explored.
The third edition, published this year is a special edition dedicated to monsters and mythical beings: Satan, mermaids, hybrids, prosthetics, bats and aliens. Front Page Mediamatic Magazine VOL4 #1&2 1989 - Design by Willem Velthoven
