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!" Early life Voog was born under a different name to a Lutheran minister father. She later changed her name to Ana Clara Voog. Voog attended high school in Stillwater, Minnesota. Musical career Before her fame as a 1990s pop culture phenomenon, a musical-visual-word artist, and one of the first internet media artists, she had local success as the frontwoman of the Minneapolis experimental pop band The Blue Up? the first all-female rock band from Minnesota. She released an EP called Now and a single called "We are the Garden". In 1995 she released a record on Columbia Records. Ms Voog was signed by David Kahne, who has produced records for famous household names like Paul McCartney or The Bangles. Before that the band was under contract with Midnight Music Records (a fairly big independent record company at the time in the 1980s). Her first full length record, Introducing Sorrow, a concept record, was never released because the owner, Nick Ralph, disappeared mysteriously. It is still waiting to be released. After the group disbanded in 1996, she signed onto Radioactive/Wasteland Records (MCA) with support from Prince and the Revolution drummer Bobby Z who then became her manager. Recordings at Paisley Park followed in collaboration with musicians David Sylvian and Ingrid Chavez on the track 'I was waving at you'. David Sylvian on his contribution: "The collaboration was primarily between Ingrid and Ana. They created a spoken word piece and were in something of a rush for a complementary backing track due to an urgent completion date. Budget problems I believe. Ana asked if I could come up with something. I did. More sound collage than composition if I remember correctly. The album was shelved for a couple of years but I understand it’s now due to be released. We haven’t heard the final results but wish her well with the project." In 1995 her record was released on Columbia Records. Voog was signed by Grammy
