Lauren Lee McCarthy Buses Zürichers into the Future

AUTO Münsterhof, the Swiss public transit adaptation of Lauren Lee McCarthy’s interactive in-car performance AUTO (2025), transforms Zurich’s Münsterhof square into a testing ground for autonomous futures. A stationary postal bus, equipped with screens and custom software, takes passengers to both real and imagined places—local streets, the lunar surface—while posing vexing questions about trust, efficiency, and who is (really) in control.
