ArtistProfiler.art is an online digital artwork created by Maxime Chanson. Taking the form of an interactive platform, it invites artists to identify and explore the uniqueness of their artistic approach.

Artists are compared to established artists who share a similar profile— specifically, the same Motor (the deep motivation behind their creation) and Means of expression (their preferred form of expression), according to a classification of 24 Motors and 24 Means.

 Currently, the platform features dedicated pages for nearly 3,000 Analytical Portraits of recognized artists. Each portrait includes:

• a detailed artistic profile;
• a representative selection of images and videos of their works;
• information on their presence in the international and/or French art scenes;
• a list of other recognised artists sharing a similar artistic profile

You can explore your own uniqueness by creating your personal page and selecting the Motor and Means that best represent your practice. This process enables you to immediately situate yourself among artists whose profiles closely relate to your own.
