 In the late 1980s and 1990s much of Hüttner's installations used computers, video and other new media.He was one of the first artists to create installations that used computers as a sculptural element and at the same time allowing them to present vast and complex information.The artist also used contemporary medical science to develop work based on research on the human brain at the "Pitt Rivers Museum" in Oxford, England - looking at how the brain remains in a constant state of change and regeneration.
