The series started as three editorial broadsides — built in Paper. The premise: the Artemis II crew packed 58 tortillas for ten days in orbit. What does that say about them? The third poster, The Provocation, asked a harder question. A tractor beam running the full length of the composition. Nine letters telescoping from small to large down its centre: GALACT*CO. The asterisk replaces the A in TACO — is it an A? An I? The Provocation is now a live animated React app. The beam shimmers. The orbital rings rotate at different speeds. The companions drift. Bill Nye, ghosted in, reaches toward the mark like he threw it. The Contra logo pulses inside a GemSmoke shader at the asterisk position. Everything the Paper canvas couldn't do — Paper Shaders, motion, live interaction — the React build made possible.
