  We prove that the projectors arising from the decomposition theorem applied
to a projective map of quasi projective varieties are absolute Hodge, Andr\'e
motivated, Tate and Ogus classes. As a by-product, we introduce, in
characteristic zero, the notions of algebraic de Rham intersection cohomology
groups of a quasi projective variety and of intersection cohomology motive of a
projective variety.
