The new media one-liner is a sub-genre of new media art. Enthusiasts and practitioners of the new
media one-liner are drawn to the practice by its "reference-pleasure." Reference-pleasure refers to the satisfaction one receives from
experiencing a new media one-liner who's "one-line" is a reference to some aspect of either internet/digital culture or media arts history/
critical theory. These are usually puns or humorous "digitizations" of other artworks/practices. This can be a play on words, for example,
switching, in a title of a work, the name of the Frankfurt school critical theorist/philosopher "Adorno" with the open-source hardware/software
platform "Arduino". New media one-liners are often these kinds of conceptual jokes which could exist simply as a title or thought but are often
executed works of new media art. The new media one-liner can be fully appreciated at surface level in the instant of the encounter but is often
the site for extraneous discussions/digressions for artists and critics alike.
