Suzanne Schneider (b. 1997) is an interdisciplinary artist and designer based in Bloomington, Indiana. Holding a BFA in Digital Art with a minor in Psychology from the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design at Indiana University, Schneider occupies the intersection of human behavior and emerging technology.

Under the artist name Swedes Experience, her practice spans video art, 3D environments, and printmaking. Schneider’s work is deeply informed by her psychological studies, allowing her to move beyond aesthetics to prioritize how audiences sit with, observe, and interpret visual environments. This unique background provides a framework for her commercial work, where she utilizes psychological principles to create more intentional, informed, and impactful designs for her clients.

Her thesis project, Smell the Roses (2023), serves as a hallmark of this approach. The immersive video environment explores the trauma surrounding her brother’s Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), utilizing 3D fractals and AI-driven transformations. Developed over two years, the piece evolved from early Google Deep Dream experiments to high-fidelity 4K projections, reflecting both a personal journey and the rapid advancement of the tools she employs. Schneider continues to push the boundaries of AI-based video by including neural style transfer and Stable Diffusion, using these tools as systems of visual transformation that bridge the gap between technical structure and emotional experience.
