Artwork and name



The artwork of DauroLab presents a cartoonized bridge on a small river in what it seems to be an old city. In fact, the city shown is the old part of Granada (my city): the Acera del Darro Carrera del Darro, a street near the Alhambra and one of the most typical postcards of Granada. The river in the picture is the Darro, whose name comes from the latin word Dauro (making reference to the gold content on its banks).

The name DauroLab is a conjunction of Dauro (the name of that river) and Lab (laboratory). The fact that the river contained gold in ancient times makes the name nicer, because one may do the interpretation that this package is built to extract gold from its data.
