Ana Clara Voog (born April 18, 1966[1]) is a singer-songwriter, musician, performance artist, visual artist, and writer from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Voog is the former frontwoman of The Blue Up?, one of the pioneer bands of the Minneapolis rock/pop scene.[2] On August 22, 1997, she started anacam, the second webcam (after Jennicam) that broadcasts twenty-four hours a day live from a home.[3] She also designs hats and clothes.

Ana's "big 'ol size D fake breasts"[4], as she describes them, were mentioned in a 1998 New York Times article about cosmetic surgery:

Ms. Voog, who is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 90 pounds, also has remarkably large breasts for such a petite woman. Her clingy white pullover bore a startling inscription: YES, THEY'RE FAKE.

In the article, she said before surgery she was "totally flat, like not even enough for a training bra." She called coming out with D-cups "the most surreal thing I've ever experienced."

[edit] Biography

Born Rachael Olson on April 18, 1966, she changed her name to Ana Clara Voog just for the fun of it; that is, it isn't a stage name, nor a persona. Although it was allegedly never legally changed, she prefers to be called by it. Voog dropped out of high school in the year she would have graduated, 1984, got her GED, and embarked on a musical career which spanned two decades. For the first eleven years she was the leader, singer, guitar player, and songwriter in an all-female band called The Blue Up? She recorded on two major labels, Columbia and MCA]], and claims she was dropped for being too eccentric. By the beginning of 2005, Voog had released four albums, an E.P., singles, has been featured on various compilations throughout the world and has stated that she is soon to begin recording a new album.

On November 30, 2006, Voog announced her pregnancy.[5]

[edit] anacam

In 1997, inspired by Jennicam, Voog began a webcam project called anacam. [2] At the time, the idea of a 24/7 webcam watching a person's daily life was still new and unexplored. Due to Jennicam's popularity, a number of camgirl websites had sprung up, but most were online only for a few hours each day, e.g. while the subject worked at their computer. Voog intended anacam to take Jennicam, which was an unfolding view into one personal life, to the next level, which for her involved performance art and visual experimentation.

Voog's webcam activities range from chatting with cam-watchers to playing music to ornate performance pieces involving household items and kitsch garage-sale finds, all unfolding in her elaborately decorated apartment. Other daily activities such as cooking dinner, vacuuming, and hosting visitors filled out the non-interactive periods. Nudity, whether incidental (watching television naked) or part of a staged performance, and sexual activity, ranging from masturbation to intercourse, are additional elements found on her site. Voog distinguishes her site from pornography, stating:

sometimes I do put on a wicked pair of high heel shoes and prance around nude in a feather boa.. 'cause dammit I'm a girl and I did that before I had a cam, so there :). This site isn't about sex, but sexuality and SENSUALITY is a PART of this site because that is part of my life.

In contrast with isabellacam (self-described as “a completely original take on female produced erotic content”), Voog sees sexuality on her site as simply a normal part of her life. Ironically, many fans enjoyed simply watching her sleep, prompting Voog to spin off a site just for "sleepcams" [3].

Since the advent of anacam, webcams have become enormously popular both for personal use and commercial exploitation. Additionally, webcams such as anacam have been parodied in films such as EdTV and The Truman Show, and prefigured the rise of reality television. With the 2003 closure of Jennicam, anacam is the last of the original wave of camgirls, and in its attempt to give an unvarnished view of Voog's life (while making a living), anacam remains unique.

Ana says on her site:

Sometimes anacam will get really interesting for a while, then it'll go back to being boring 'cause that's life. Just when you think nothing will happen here...bam...something crazy out of the blue happens. anacam is like the weather...the only predictability it has is that it WILL change. [...] You'll see my dogs or me staring at my monitor glassy-eyed more than you'll see sexual stuff. I'm really good at staring :) and sleeping!...

[edit] Writings

From the beginning of anacam, Voog accompanied the webcam with her blog-like musings in a section of her site called analog and in her LiveJournal (begun in 1999). She also transcribed her earlier, hand-written journals. In addition, she publishes poetry, stream-of-consciousness work, and other writings on her site.

[edit] Visual arts

Voog produces many types of art, from paintings and drawings to digital photography, including photos taken directly from anacam. She hopes to make films some day as well.

[edit] Hats

In May 2002 Voog started to freeform crochet hats. Each one is unique, and she sells them via her website. She also takes part in fashion shows and is expanding into clothing design.

[edit] Media coverage

Newspapers and magazines have written about Voog and anacam, including Newsweek, USA Today, Playboy, and Yahoo! Internet Life. Television appearances include Hard Copy, Vibe, A&E]], and E!. Voog has been featured in several documentary films. Art installations by Voog have been hosted by the Museum of Modern Art, and in the Walker Art Center and the Weisman Art Museum (both in Minneapolis).
