A Behavioural Lens on Art Collecting
Join the
Study
The study is going live: university-partnered research initiative led by str-ing.org, exploring how collecting behavior reveals patterns of identity, taste, and cultural connection.
Our tools support public cultural infrastructure through collaborative, data-ethical research on art engagement.
01
You Host a Touch Point
Place a simple Tag at your exhibition, booth or gallery. It invites visitors to join a short, anonymous questionnaire designed for art collectors.
02
Visitors Participate On Their Own
Participants answer 10–12 behaviorally designed questions via mobile. No logins, no personal data, no interruption to the gallery experience.
03
You Gain Insight (Not Data)
You don’t receive individual data but we share anonymized, aggregate insights about collector types and engagement patterns emerging across exhibitions and events.
04
You Become Part of the Cultural Neural Network
Hosting the study positions your gallery as a thought partner in a public-interest research initiative about taste, identity, and collecting today with visibility in future publications and institutional presentations.
