The Haas Brothers (b. 1984)

“Creativity to me means being able to open your mind enough to allow yourself to think of things that don’t exist, and then make them come to fruition. It means you’re able to look at the larger social picture and think of things that are missing and think of ways to push it forward.” (N. Haas, quoted in interview with G. Chait, “Interview with the Haas Brothers,” https://theelderstatesmanofficial.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/24-hour-duo-the-haas-brothers-interview/, 20 September 2014).

“I think creativity for me would be more like unbounded curiosity or unhindered curiosity. That works across science, math, art, anything... Basically you have to forget most of what you learned and approach something as if it’s the only time you’ve ever seen it.” (S. Haas, quoted in interview with G. Chait, “Interview with the Haas Brothers,” https://theelderstatesmanofficial.wordpress.com/2014/09/20/24-hour-duo-the-haas-brothers-interview/, 20 September 2014).
