中環海濱「充氣奇蹟」近日引起連串爭議，有傳媒引述原作者@joooo.ann（Joann）不滿展覽效果，要求煞停，主辦方Central Venue Management（CVM）連日發聲明回應，今日（8日）再發布Joann的聲明，她表示實物與原人工智能概念有所不同，是在預計之內（variations from the original AI concepts are to be expected.），並指她從不同媒體收到的相片質素低及不專業，令她難以準確評價裝置的外觀。

原作者：無收報酬僅授權概念

Joann在聲明中指，自己沒有收任何報酬，主辦方是受到她的人工智能作品的靈感啟發，但毋須完全複雜自己的作品；自己並未參與展覽團隊的製作工作或其他執行範疇；開幕前沒有收到或審視實物裝置的任何圖像。

她亦強調，除了授權主辦方使用自己的概念，與此次展覽無關聯，亦沒有參與項目，非最終實體裝置的設計者。她亦留意到有媒體曾試圖將展覽政治化（to link this
exhibition to political issues），澄清自己沒有參與和此項目相關的政治論述或其他事宜，只是重視個人作品的藝術層面。

Joann英文原稿如下：

Permission and Attribution: I granted permission for the creation of physical inflatable installations in Hong Kong, inspired by my AI-generated concepts created a year ago as a personal project. My name is credited as the originator of the initial concept. However, I am not involved in the execution or any aspect of the exhibition organized by the event team.

Non-Commercial Engagement: I did not receive any compensation for this project, as it is a free public event. The organizers were inspired by my AI work and were not required to replicate my designs exactly.

Challenges in Physical Recreation: While AI allows for limitless and surreal creativity, translating these designs into physical installations involves significant challenges. Therefore, variations from the original AI concepts are to be expected.

Lack of Preview and Input: I did not receive or review any images of the installations prior to the event. My first view of the installations was through various media outlets post-launch.

Quality of Media Images: The images I received from different media sources were of low quality and non-professional, making it difficult to accurately assess the installations’appearance.

Non-Involvement in the Exhibition: I am not involved in this exhibition beyond granting permission for the use of my concept. I did not participate in the project, and I am not the designer of the final installations, contrary to some public perceptions.

Non-Political Stance: I am aware that there has been some attempt by the media to link this exhibition to political issues. I want to clarify that I am not involved in any political discourse or matters related to the event. My focus remains solely on the artistic aspect of my work.

Further Inquiries: Any questions regarding the exhibition or related political matters should be directed to the event organizers. I am not the appropriate contact for these issues.
