透過獨特的地理位置與環境養分，台灣早已融合、撞擊出一種獨有拼貼式的台灣原創風格。以大眾傳播為媒介，經由電視、出版品的傳播與擴張，台灣流行文化(或稱大眾文化/通俗文化）除了原汁原味呈現出台灣價值與樣貌外，其內涵同時也深深影響著全球華人市場。然而，在觀察這些流行文化背後所透露的，不只流行文化精神，更是台灣藝術家因環境的內化、所創造出的設計美學。
2009新加坡設計節展覽期間，策展人陳秉良與台灣設計師協會將以「POST: taiwan design in pop culture」做為主題。帶領著二十多位舉凡流行音樂、數位娛樂、產品包裝、視覺設計、時尚潮流等多面向的頂尖設計師及其作品參展。讓如此具有台灣味的設計美學文化躍上國際舞台，並藉此發掘台灣流行設計文化更多、更廣闊的可能性。
Influenced by its unique geographical location and historical background, Taiwan designers have developed an original mix-and-match trend through the unstoppable process of fusion and collision. Via the power of mass media, Taiwan’s Pop Culture Design showcases the values and diverse looks of Taiwan, and further influences the global Mandarin-speaking market. As such, it is not just a ‘pop trend’ but the true spirit of ‘Pop Culture Design’ that has originated from the island’s particular lifestyle, developing various unique design aesthetics.
POST: Taiwan Design in Pop Culture is curated by Eric Chen, showcasing more than 20 leading Taiwanese graphic, digital, environment, animation and illustration designers. Here, the Taiwan design aesthetics continue to be exhibited on a global scale.
