The Center for Art and Communication (CAYC) burst onto the Buenos Aires scene by the end of the sixties, with the aim of promoting interdisciplinary relationships between artistic practices, technological media and the social context. This article analyses a body of artworks, exhibitions and activities organized by the Center, in light of the networks that the institution has built with the international scene. The impulse of a new conception of artwork engaged with the new technologies, together with the formulation of a critic notion about the connections of peripheral countries with artistic, technical and scientific developments of core countries have been two main strategies that enabled CAYC the opening of new communication systems.
