He has also been a writer, photographer, conservationist, and student of Asian and digital culture. Kelly's writings have appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, The Economist and other periodicals in addition to the books he has authored and the magazines he either edited, founded, or helped to found. In 1981, Kelly founded Walking Journal. With Whole Earth's founder, Stewart Brand, Kelly helped found the WELL, a highly regarded online community. He has been a director of the Point Foundation, which sponsored the first Hackers Conference in 1984 (before the word "hacker" had its current negative connotation). In 1994, Wired Magazine, (Kelly was executive director) won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence. Kelly is editor at large for the magazine. He is noted as a participant and observer of "cyberculture". Kelly's writing has appeared in many other national and international publications such as The New York Times, The Economist, Time, Harper's Magazine, Science, Veneer Magazine, GQ, and Esquire. His photographs have appeared in Life and other American national magazines. Kelly's most notable book-length publication, Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World (1994), presents a view on the mechanisms of complex organization. The central theme of the book is that several fields of contemporary science and philosophy point in the same direction: intelligence is not organized in a centralized structure but much more like a bee-hive of small simple components. Kelly applies this view to bureaucratic organisations, intelligent computers, and to the human brain.". Nº de ref. del artículo: 69817
