Utilizing imperfections of pseudo-random number generators.
A bad PRNg can produce visible artifacts on an image (which you might have seen if you've ever tried using your own in a ray tracer for example).
It would be interesting to see these statistical imperfections utilized in a deliberate way, not by mistake.
(it's kinda between programming and math, idk where to post it)

Hmm yes. This is definitely at home in Math.
Can we predict what type of artifacts different imperfections create?

It depends on the application. In the case of that raytracer, oversample certain areas while ignoring others, only bounce in a few directions instead of evenly and so on. Now you can of course do all of that biasing manually and it'll look a lot better but what's the fun in that?
