As Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) rapidly modernises, its cultural identity faces increasing pressures from global cultural trends and built infrastructure that lacks any negotiation with the vernacular context. While tangible heritage preservation remains a primary focus, the city’s intangible heritage—particularly its ephemeral culture of flow and movement—risks being overlooked. This project explores the motorbike as a critical medium through which urban rhythms, spatial interactions, and social practices are revealed, capturing the sensory experience of movement as a fundamental aspect of HCMC’s cultural identity. Through experiments in digital video and augmented reality, this research project investigates the embodied experience of urban mobility. Filmmaking techniques designed to reveal the everyday city through methods of ‘unknowing’ are employed to document the shifting dynamics of movement through the city. Augmented reality is being developed to explore flow, allowing viewers to engage with layered temporalities of urban movement. These digital interventions offer new perspectives on the importance of motorbikes to contribute to the lived experience of the city and the passengers intimate connection to place. Building upon my contribution to the River Cities Network through films that capture the fluidity of motorbike traffic, this project situates mobility as a form of cultural heritage. By integrating creative practice with urban research, the project challenges conventional heritage frameworks and contributes to broader discourses on sustainable urban futures, through mediums such as moving image and site-specific augmented reality installations. This study aligns with the societal impact and ambition of my creative practice, which advocates for cultural sustainability amid rapid urban transformation.
