Sorry if this is a long answer ;)
I work primarily as a software artist and teacher, and we (as in the folks who work on openframeworks) sometimes we do commercial projects / freelance work. Because of the nature of what we do (computer vision, interaction design, realtime software) we get invited to work on very diverse projects.
For this particular project, Theo, who is part of the OF team, had already been working on something IQ related with the advertising company Happiness Brussels, which was postponed because of the economy. When they thought of this project, they contacted Theo, who put them in touch with me as I happened to be in Brussels teaching a workshop and thought this would be fun to help with. Everything clicked from there.
If it's helpful, here are some links to other projects (so you can see what kind of stuff I work on):

and I'm currently working on a project covered a few days ago on hacker news ;)

- invisibility 17y agoare you trained as an artist or as a software engineer? hmm, maybe what i want to ask is, from which "side" did you get into being a software artist?
- thesystemis 17y agoI was trained as an artist and got into computers / programming accidentally... now I teach artists how to code (and sometimes CS students more artistic potentials of software / programming).
