Ana Clara Voog (born 18 April 1966) is a musician, visual artist, performance artist and writer from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Voog is the former front woman of The Blue Up?, a pop rock band from the Minneapolis area. On 22 August 1997 Voog began anacam, one of the first webcams (inspired by JenniCam) that lifecasted, i.e., broadcast twenty-four hours a day live from a home. In her own words anacam was "the internet's 1st 24/7 art life cam!" Voog was born under a different name to a Lutheran minister father. She later changed her name to Ana Clara Voog. On 22 August 1997, Voog began a webcam project named anacam. Besides a view into Voog's personal life, anacam also incorporated performance art and visual experimentation. Daily activities such as cooking dinner, vacuuming, and hosting visitors fill out the non-interactive periods on anacam. Other activities on the webcam range from chatting with cam-watchers, playing music, and ornate performance pieces involving household items. While sex and nudity played only a small part in what could be seen on cam, Voog gained considerable attention, and criticism, for the portrayal of nudity and sexual activity on her live webcam. Voog distinguished the racier elements of her project from pornography, stating that the "site isn't about sex, but sexuality and SENSUALITY..." In contrast with one-time collaborator Isabellacam, which was self-described as "a completely original take on female produced erotic content", Voog views sexuality on anacam as a part of her life, as she describes in the rest of the quotation: "...is a PART of this site because that is part of my life."
