Affine Krichever-Novikov algebras are generalizations of affine Kac-Moody algebras for algebraic curves of higher genus. The affine Kac-Moody case corresponds to the genus zero situation. These algebras are almost-graded. The concept of almost-gradedness allows to define highest weight representations, Verma modules, etc. In this article explicit realizations of such representations are constructed. To a generic holomorphic vector bundle over the curve and an irreducible finite-dimensional representation of a semi-simple Lie algebra the author assigns a representation of the corresponding affine Krichever-Novikov algebra in the space of semi-infinite exterior forms (fermionic forms, wedge forms). They are defined with respect to a certain basis of a space of functions which is associated to the (framed) bundle. These bases generalize the Krichever-Novikov bases for the functions and the forms of arbitrary weights. Equivalent pairs of data determine equivalent representations and vice versa.
