倪灏于2014年获选“台北美术奖”优选奖，在个展“伏击”中集结过往作品和全新创作，将观者置身于充斥着不安感与不确定的观展氛围之中。射击卡片、拼贴旋转影像、机械装置以及跳接视频等作品安置于展厅各处，以不易觉察的方式逐渐操控观者的心绪。与此同时，展厅中重叠交错的躁动音效—物件撞击、鼓、管乐器、空气压缩器等机械声响，从不同维度将观者带入一种无法逃避的、令人筋疲力尽的沉浸式感官体验之中。艺术家著力探讨物件牵制、支配人类背后的暴力形式与权力运作，突出当代社会中信用卡、货币、家电产品、枪支、网络的流通和使用，彰显其背后操纵国际地缘政治、全球金融体系的无形力量。

Artist Ni Hao, an Honorable Mention recipient of the Taipei Art Awards, presents both his previous art series and new works in his solo exhibition, entitled Ambush, which immerses viewers in an atmosphere of dynamism and uncertainty. In the exhibition, viewers find themselves surrounded by shooting cards, spinning collage images, subtle mechanical compressions and projections of jump-cut videos, which gradually and implicitly stimulate viewers' nerves despite being displayed as still works. Moreover, these works are accompanied by on-going, irritating noises—sounds of clashing objects, drums, air compressors and wind instruments, submerging viewers in an inescapable, exhausting sensory experiences. With the collectively restlessness through his works, the artist hopes to discuss forms of violence and the operation of power behind existing manipulation and control enabled by objects, foregrounding the circulation and use of credit cards, currencies, home appliances, guns and internet in contemporary society while outlining the invisible force that maneuvers international geopolitics and global financial system.

展览画册共发行270套，附加30套艺术家自藏版。倪灏将书籍设计成外观犹如寻常画册的假书，将金属盒子內藏于其中，收录作品相册，USB硬碟，以及一件独版拼贴雕塑。艺术家收集展览中所使用的材料，将其粉碎再用树脂密封制作成雕塑，回应展览概念—以大众传媒为例，科技如何成为社会中的干预力量使得碎片化的信息输出影响大众对现实的认知。并且透过机构出版画册为展览记录的手段，来揭示社会内部的权力机制。倪灏不断重整统合当下现实的多重参照，向不停演化变异的社会结构提出试问。

The exhibition catalogue distributed in edition of 270 plus 30 artist’s proof is each uniquely made by Ni Hao in disguise of a fake book which contains a photo book, a USB drive and a resin-sealed collage sculpture collected from the materials in the exhibition to respond to the idea how technology, mass media-publication industry for instance, acknowledges our understanding of the reality through fragments of information that is shredded by dominant forces in the society and how its inner power system is unraveled through an institutional act in publishing the exhibition catalogue for a once happened event. Continuously revisiting and exploring the existing works, Ni Hao questions the non-stopped evolving social structure by incorporating the element of parody into different arrangements.
