Stephen Wilhite est mort du Covid-19 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 74 ans, entour\u00e9 des membres de sa famille.

Dans les messages priv\u00e9s ou sur les r\u00e9seaux sociaux, le gif (\u00ab graphic interchange format \u00bb) est devenu un \u00e9l\u00e9ment incontournable des conversations en ligne. Pour autant, Stephen Wilhite a con\u00e7u ce format de mini-vid\u00e9o en boucle pour une tout autre raison. Au d\u00e9part, cet ex-employ\u00e9 de CompuServe cherchait un moyen d\u2019envoyer des images en couleur en haute d\u00e9finition sans perdre en qualit\u00e9, la bande passante \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque \u00e9tant beaucoup plus lente qu\u2019aujourd\u2019hui. \u00ab Il a invent\u00e9 le gif tout seul \u2013 il l\u2019a fait \u00e0 la maison et l\u2019a mis en \u0153uvre apr\u00e8s l\u2019avoir perfectionn\u00e9 \u00bb, a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 son \u00e9pouse aupr\u00e8s de The Verge. Le tout premier exemple de gif (prononcez \u00ab jif \u00bb selon son inventeur) \u00e9tait une photo d\u2019un avion rouge (visible ici), \u00e0 la r\u00e9solution bien loin des standards actuels.<\/p>\n

Des hommages en gif<\/b><\/p>\n

Retrait\u00e9 depuis 2000, Stephen Wilhite a consacr\u00e9 la fin de sa vie aux voyages avec son \u00e9pouse. Son invention lui a permis de remporter le prix Webby Lifetime Achievement Award en 2013. Aupr\u00e8s du New York Times en 2013, le principal int\u00e9ress\u00e9 avait r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 son animation pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e : celle d\u2019un b\u00e9b\u00e9 en train de danser en tournant sur lui-m\u00eame. De nombreux internautes n\u2019ont pas manqu\u00e9 d\u2019honorer sa m\u00e9moire sur les r\u00e9seaux sociaux, \u00e0 coups de gifs bien s\u00fbr.<\/p>\n
