...sorry for the delay in my response to your question.

The answer is...I don't know, but I suspect that the Art Science Research Lab may have posted a transcript to their site sometime later.

Probably the most memorable presentation for me was by James Randi, aka "The Amazing Randi," who gave a great presentation called Illusions in Science and Art.

But there were other moments, like when I rode in a cab with Timothy Phillips - Salvador Dali's assistant, who said he painted, entirely, some "minor pieces" attributed to Dali, and Duchamp's main biographer, Arturo Schwarz, who put together The Complete Works of Marcel Duchamp, who was with his young girlfriend, probably 35-40 years younger than Arturo.

I also had dinner with Schwarz, Phillips, and several other participants in the symposium, which included some very fascinating conversations.

Lastly, during one of the lectures in an auditorium, Arturo Schwarz, who was seated in the front row area, got up from his seat and started walking up the aisle toward my direction, where I was in a seat along the aisle. Right when he got up to me, he stumbled and started to fall, but I was able to jump up and catch him, stopping him from falling flat on his 75 y.o. face!

I thought, "that was pretty weird."
