在著名策展人陆蓉之女士提出的动漫新美学的范畴中，动漫美学艺术指的并非动画或漫画本身，凡是带有动画、漫画审美情趣的绘画、雕塑、摄影、装置、影片、网络艺术及多媒体、新媒体方面的各种创作，甚至包括了和产业结合所衍生的产品都是其研究探讨的动漫美学。种类之丰富，数量之庞大，涵盖到民生用品、衣食住行，几乎无所不包。这类新艺术在虚拟现实中记录了我们人生的创造力，也存在于电子和数字世界的第四维空间里。
陆蓉之女士第一次提出动漫新美学的概念，是在2004年台北当代艺术馆举办的《虚拟的爱》展上。自此之后，经过长年的研究搜寻，她将这股新形成美学趋势称为“动漫美学(Animamix)”—— “动画(animation)”和“漫画(comics)”的结合，并在国际间积极推动“动漫美学”的概念。
本次2009-2010动漫美学双年展，陆蓉之协同其他4位年轻策展人共同推出跨领域性国际邀请展，从2090年底至2010年初，巡展于上海当代艺术馆、台北当代艺术馆、高雄市立美术馆以及北京今日美术馆，推出新世纪一种多元、多层次，超越时空限制的创意展示。展出内容以新世纪的生活美学为范畴，体现艺术创意使生活更美好的主题，以科技来扩展实现艺术创意的可能性。
The well renowed curator Victoria Lu describes this new trend in art as Animamix. It does not refer simply to the completed animation or comics alone but rather its derivative products and the subculture that has developed around it. We are not just extending this definition to items related to people’s lives but also the food, clothing, home and transport; where almost nothing is excluded. The value of the output of the Animamix industry is not just in the artworks themselves, but rather in the totality of the combined or multiplying cultural forces of an era. The production and marketing of Animamix art will become a most important link in the creative industry worldwide. This type of artistic creation is in perfect harmony with popular culture; in this new era, the division between high art and low art no longer exists. This new type of art records in the virtual world the creative forces of our lives and saves them in the fourth dimension of the electronic and digital worlds.
When Victoria Lu curated “Fiction.Love” in 2004 at MoCA Taipei, she become aware of a new trend in aesthetics, and in 2006, when she curated a new version of Fiction@Love at MoCA Shanghai, she coined a term to describe this new trend: Animamix, combining ”animation” and “comics”.
Animamix Biennial 2009-2010 is the first major cross-straits international Biennial jointly hosted by four museums. It consists of four different exhibitions curated by Victoria Lu, Beatrice Peini HSIEH, Maple Yujie LIN, PAN Qing and LIU Chunfeng. And will open at the end of 2009 and continue into 2010, at four venues: MoCA Shanghai, MoCA Taipei, MoCA Kaohsiung and Today Art Museum in Beijing . Exhibits illustrate the scope of aesthetics in the new century, reflecting the theme that art creativity leads to better life, which extend the possibility of arts’ realization by means of technology.
