randomized

My comment:

Literally left to chance/haphazard, but if it's an experimental process I'd guess this referred to randomisation.

My comment:

It would fit the context, I think. "Leaving things to chance" has a "neglectful" connotation, which is not the case here. They're experimenting with artistic techniques if I understand correctly. "Hasard" can mean "random."
